| Thrombospondin is a protein from platelet agranules. It is secreted at sites of platelet activation and aggregation and is involved in the processes of chemotaxis, adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of leukocytes, fibroblasts, smooth muscle and endothelial cells. This antibody inhibits TSP collagen interaction. Its binding to TSP is unaffected by glycosaminoglycans (e.g. hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and heparin). It shows no cross reaction with fibronectin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor. It shows a mild cross reactivity towards TSP 2. |
