Thrombospondins as matricellular modulators of cell function
Open accessAbstract
Matricellular proteinsThrombospondins (TSPs) are a small family of secreted, modular glycoproteins whose functions, at a mechanistic level, are not well understood, despite increasing scrutiny in recent years.TSP1 and TSP2 form one subgroup and are trimers with a chain molecular mass of about 145 kDa.The pentameric TSPs 3-5 are significantly smaller, with a subunit molecular mass of about 100 kDa (1), and their physiological roles are probably distinct.This Perspective will concern itself with TSP1 and TSP2.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
