Thrombospondin-4, also known as THBS4, is a member of the thrombospondin protein family. This family members are adhesive glycoproteins that mediate cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. This protein forms a pentamer and can bind to heparin and calcium. Among them Thrombospondin-4 binds a variety of matrix proteins including Collagens I, II, III, V, Laminin-1, Fibronectin, and Matrilin-2. And it plays a role in cardiovascularphysiology and neuronal development. It is up-regulated in the spinal cord following peripheral nerve injury where it contributes to presynaptic hypersensitivity and hyperalgesia. It is also up-regulated in muscle following denervation. It contributes to the development of inflammation and atherosclerosis by promoting macrophage and neutrophil adhesion to the vasculature. Recombinant mouse Thrombospondin-4, fused to His-Tag at C -terminal, was expressed in HEK293 cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
