High impact information on thbs4
- The zebrafish thrombospondin 3 and 4 genes (thbs3 and thbs4): cDNA and protein structure [1].
- The polypeptides share the domain structure characteristic of the thrombospondin 3/thrombospondin 4/COMP subgroup of thrombospondin proteins [1].
- Both proteins are highly acidic with Asp + Glu contents of 15.8% (Thbs3) and 16.9% (Thbs4) [1].
- Potential glycosylation sites were identified, five for Thbs3 and three for Thbs4 [1].
- In aligning the Thbs3 and Thbs4 domain sequences with those of other thrombospondins, a gradient of sequence homology is observed that increases from N-terminus to C-terminus [1].
