Descriptor trombospondinas
Scope note: Familia de glicoproteínas de adhesión relacionadas que se sintetizan, segregan, e incorporan a la matriz extracelular de una variedad de células, incluidos los gránulos alfa de las plaquetas, trás la activación de la trombina y de las células endoteliales. Interactúan con un numeroso grupo de FACTORES DE LA COAGULACIÓN SANGUÍNEA y de factores anticoagulantes. Se han identificado cinco formas diferentes, trombospondina 1, -2, -3, -4, y matriz proteica oligomérica del cartílago (COMP). Intervienen en la adhesión celular, agregación plaquetaria, proliferación celular, angiogénesis, metástasis tumoral, crecimiento del MÚSCULO LISO VASCULAR, y en la reparación tisular.

Scope note: A family of related, adhesive glycoproteins which are synthesized, secreted, and incorporated into the extracellular matrix of a variety of cells, including alpha granules of platelets following thrombin activation and endothelial cells. They interact with a number of BLOOD COAGULATION FACTORS and anticoagulant factors. Five distinct forms have been identified, thrombospondin 1, -2, -3, -4, and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). They are involved in cell adhesion, platelet aggregation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE growth, and tissue repair.
