Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** SPON2 belongs to the spondin family of proteins, which have been implicated in various biological processes, including immune response and cell adhesion. The protein exhibits a unique structure, characterized by a TSR (tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein with interspersed SH3 domains) domain, which is crucial for its function. SPON2 is also known to undergo O-glycosylation, a post-translational modification that plays a significant role in protein-protein interactions and cell signaling. **Pathways and Functions:** SPON2 is involved in several key immune-related pathways, including: 1. **Antigen Binding and Cell Adhesion:** SPON2 interacts with various ligands, including lipopolysaccharides, to regulate cell adhesion and immune response. 2. **Innate Immune Response:** SPON2 plays a crucial role in the recognition and clearance of pathogens, particularly fungi and viruses, through its interaction with pattern recognition receptors. 3. **O-Glycosylation of TSR Domain-Containing Proteins:** SPON2 is involved in the O-glycosylation of TSR domain-containing proteins, which is essential for their function in immune response and cell adhesion. 4. **Protein Binding and Post-Translational Modification:** SPON2 exhibits metal ion binding properties and undergoes O-linked glycosylation, which are critical for its interactions with other proteins and regulation of immune response. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of SPON2 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Diseases associated with O-glycosylation of proteins:** Altered glycosylation patterns, including O-glycosylation, have been linked to several diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. 2. **Innate Immune Response Defects:** SPON2 dysfunction has been associated with impaired innate immune response, making individuals more susceptible to infections and autoimmune diseases. 3. **Cancer and Metabolic Disorders:** Altered glycosylation patterns, including O-glycosylation, have been implicated in cancer progression and metabolic disorders, highlighting the importance of SPON2 in disease pathogenesis. In conclusion, SPON2 is a crucial protein involved in immune response, cell adhesion, and disease pathogenesis. Further research is necessary to elucidate the mechanisms underlying SPON2 function and its role in various diseases, ultimately leading to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
