| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| 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 microvessle number, increased extracellular matrix deposition and increased fibrosis.
