Gene information for THSD7A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID221981
Official gene symbolTHSD7A
Full namethrombospondin, type I, domain containing 7A
Aliases,KIAA0960,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is found almost exclusively in endothelial cells from placenta and umbilical cord. The encoded protein appears to interact with alpha(V)beta(3) integrin and paxillin to inhibit endothelial cell migration and tube formation. This protein may be involved in cytoskeletal organization. Variations in this gene may be associated with low bone mineral density in osteoporosis. [provided by RefSeq]
