Other Information

**Key Characteristics** 1. **Glycosylation**: Thrombospondin 2 is heavily glycosylated, with multiple O-glycans attached to its extracellular domain. This post-translational modification plays a crucial role in its interactions with other proteins and cells. 2. **Cell adhesion and signaling**: Thrombospondin 2 mediates cell adhesion through its interaction with integrins, laminins, and other extracellular matrix components. It also regulates signaling pathways, including those involving PDGF and receptor tyrosine kinases. 3. **Angiogenesis regulation**: Thrombospondin 2 acts as a negative regulator of angiogenesis, inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels and promoting vascular stability. 4. **Metabolic homeostasis**: Thrombospondin 2 is involved in the regulation of metabolic processes, including protein metabolism and glycosylation. **Pathways and Functions** 1. **Basement membrane formation**: Thrombospondin 2 contributes to the formation and maintenance of the basement membrane, a critical component of tissue architecture. 2. **Cell migration and proliferation**: Thrombospondin 2 regulates cell migration and proliferation through its interactions with integrins and other extracellular matrix components. 3. **Angiogenesis**: Thrombospondin 2 inhibits angiogenesis by regulating the expression of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. 4. **Metabolic regulation**: Thrombospondin 2 regulates protein metabolism and glycosylation, which are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. **Clinical Significance** 1. **Cancer**: Thrombospondin 2 is overexpressed in various cancers, including breast, lung, and colon cancer, where it promotes tumor growth and metastasis. 2. **Vascular diseases**: Thrombospondin 2 is involved in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and hypertension, where it regulates vascular tone and remodeling. 3. **Inflammatory diseases**: Thrombospondin 2 is overexpressed in inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis, where it regulates immune cell activation and tissue damage. 4. **Neurological disorders**: Thrombospondin 2 is involved in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, where it regulates synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival. In conclusion, the THBS2 gene plays a multifaceted role in regulating immune responses, angiogenesis, and metabolic homeostasis. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the need for further research into the molecular mechanisms underlying its functions and the development of therapeutic strategies to modulate its activity.
