[Human thrombospondin-1 protein (1170 aa, 129 kDa precursor) is encoded by the human thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) gene. This protein, a disulfide-linked homotrimer, is an adhesive extracellular matrix glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. Thrombospondin-1 protein is also involved in cell migration and proliferation during embryogenesis and wound repair. It may be a regulator of tumor growth and metastasis. ( NCI )]
