  • external surface
  • endogenous periostin and TGFBI colocalize in the trans-Golgi network
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may be playing an important role in cell-collagen interactions in cartilage
  • may function as an extracellular attachment protein in skin (
  • may be involved in endochondral bone formation
  • may play a critical role in endothelial cells-matrix interactions (
  • plays an important role in mediating human corneal epithelial (HCE) cell adhesion and migration
  • modulate cell adhesion and tumor formation
  • may be having a role as a secreted factor involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration
  • associated with other ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins and functions as a ligand for various types of integrins
  • its expression is well correlated with chromatin conformation at the TGFBI promoter, and Sp1 and Sp3 are the primary determinants for the control of constitutive expression of TGFBI gene
