Background: Thrombospondin-3

Thrombospondin-3 (TSP-3) is a 140-150 kDa heparin-binding protein in the thrombospondin family of matricellular adhesion proteins. Within this family, TSP-3, TSP-4, and TSP-5/COMP are secreted as pentamers, while TSP-1 and TSP-2 are homotrimeric (1). TSP-3 contains an N-terminal Laminin G-like globular domain, a flexible linker region, multiple tandem EGF-like repeats, multiple tandem TSP type-3 repeats, and a globular TSP C-terminal domain (2). Alternative splicing of human TSP-3 generates a short isoform with a deletion of approximately half of the Laminin-like domain and a portion of the linker. Mature human TSP-3 shares 98% and 97% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat TSP-3, respectively. In the disulfide-linked TSP-3 pentamer, the Laminin-like domains are clustered while the C-terminal globular domains are extended (3). TSP-3 is expressed during mouse embryogenesis in the brain, dorsal root ganglia, cartilage, lung, and gut (4, 5). In postnatal mice it is most highly expressed in the lung (6). TSP-3 is involved in the columnar organization of chondrocytes in developing growth plates of long bones (7). It is up-regulated in metastatic osteosarcoma and in the corneal stroma during wound healing (8, 9).
