General description

Native thrombospondin purified from human platelets. Adhesive glycoprotein released in response to platelet activation by α-thrombin. An angiogenesis inhibitor that blocks the FGF-induced neovascularization of the rat cornea. An inducer of platelet aggregation. Synthesized by a number of different cells and secreted into the extracellular matrix. Involved in the regulation of cellular proliferation.
