Summary: 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).

Like wild-type Thbs4, a secretion-defective mutant upregulates the adaptive ER stress response and expands the ER and intracellular vesicles in cardiomyocytes. However, only the secretion-defective Thbs4 mutant produces cardiomyopathy with sarcolemmal weakness and rupture that is associated with reduced adhesion-forming glycoproteins in the membrane.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
