| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including fibronectin binding activity; heparin binding activity; and laminin-1 binding activity. Involved in behavioral response to pain; regulation of tissue remodeling; and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix; extracellular space; and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; heart; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human THBS4 (thrombospondin 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit increased sensitivity to cardiac pressure overload, including increased hypertrophy, decreased ejection fraction, decreased microvessel number, increased extracellular matrix deposition and increased fibrosis. Homozygous KO leads to impaired wound healing and delayed retinal vasculature development and affects macrophage differentiation. Homozygosity for the p.A389P mutation leads to enhanced wound healing and accelerated retinal vasculature development and affects macrophage differentiation. [provided by MGI curators] |
