Biology:SPARCL1

From HandWiki

SPARC-like protein 1 (SPARCL1 or SC1), also known as hevin (short for high endothelial venule protein), is a secreted protein with high structural similarity to SPARC.[1][2]

Biology

It interacts with the extracellular matrix to create intermediate states of cell adhesion.[3] Due to its dynamic extracellular roles, it is implicated in cancer metastasis and inflammation and it is considered a matricellular protein.[4][5] In humans hevin is encoded by the SPARCL1 gene.[6][7] Hevin is produced by astrocytes. It is involved in synapse formation, function, plasticity, and elimination as well as brain chemistry regulation.[8]

Interactions

  • CALY (calcyon)[9]
