SPON2, DIL1, Spondin-2, Differentially expressed in cancerous and non-cancerous lung cells 1, DIL-1, Mindin
function:Cell adhesion protein that promote adhesion and outgrowth of hippocampal embryonic neurons. Binds directly to bacteria and their components and functions as an opsonin for macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria. Essential in the initiation of the innate immune response and represents a unique pattern-recognition molecule in the ECM for microbial pathogens.,similarity:Contains 1 spondin domain.,similarity:Contains 1 TSP type-1 domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed in normal lung tissues but not in lung carcinoma cell lines.,function:Cell adhesion protein that promote adhesion and outgrowth of hippocampal embryonic neurons.
