Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Extracellular matrix protein implicated in guidance of migrating neurons as well as axons during development, synaptic plasticity as well as neuronal regeneration. Promotes neurite outgrowth when provided to neurons in culture. May play a role in supporting the growth of epithelial tumors. Ligand for integrins alpha-8/beta-1, alpha-9/beta-1, alpha-V/beta-3 and alpha-V/beta-6. {ECO:0000250UniProtKB:P24821, ECO:0000269PubMed:16553788}.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

High levels of isoform 2 in lung and brain of newborn mice. High levels of isoform 5 in thymus, moderate levels in brain of newborn and adult mice. Low level of isoform 2 in adult brain. {ECO:0000269PubMed:1717349}.
