  • V1
  • transmembrane glycoprotein
  • 15 - 1667 - 368 - 2013 23602711
  • V2
  • structurally similar to variant 1 but contains a much shorter cytoplasmic domain (amino acids 343–368)
  • 13 - 2360 - 333 - 2013 23602711
  • V3
  • not contain the transmembrane or cytoplasmic domains and is predicted to be secreted
  • the most abundant of all isoforms
  • - splicing 1740 - 528 ubiquitous 2012 22912819
  • membrane-bound form of the receptor

    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • a 293-AA extracellular domain with 3 putative end-length glycosylation sites, binding preferentially to collagen
  • a 23-AA putative transmembrane region followed by the short cytoplasmic tail
  • an extracellular von Willebrand factor type A (VWA) domain is located between residues 44 and 216
  • a segment in the cytoplasmic tail of ANTXR1 required for its association with the cytoskeleton
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene

    basic FUNCTION
  • plays a positive role in endothelial cell activities related to angiogenesis
  • docking protein or receptor for Bacillus anthracis toxin, the causative agent of the disease, anthrax
  • functioning as an adhesion molecule mediating cell spreading on immobilized protective antigen and collagen I
  • exists in different forms at the cell surface, a structure dependent on interactions with components of the actin cytoskeleton
  • developmentally controlled expression of ANTXR1 modulates endothelial cell response to canonical Wnt signaling to regulate vessel patterning and density
