Description
Description: Integral component of basement membranes. Component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), responsible for the fixed negative electrostatic membrane charge, and which provides a barrier which is both size- and charge-selective. It serves as an attachment substrate for cells. Plays essential roles in vascularization. Critical for normal heart development and for regulating the vascular response to injury. Also required for avascular cartilage development.
Post Translational Modifications: Proteolytic processing produces the C-terminal angiogenic peptide, endorepellin. This peptide can be further processed to produce the LG3 peptide. N- and O-glycosylated. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. Perlecan contains three heparan sulfate chains. The LG3 peptide contains at least three and up to five potential O-glycosylation sites but no N-glycosylation.
Subunit Structure: Purified perlecan has a strong tendency to aggregate in dimers or stellate structures. It interacts with other basement membrane components such as laminin, prolargin and collagen type IV. Interacts with COL13A1, FGFBP1 and VWA1. Interacts (via C-terminus) with ECM1 (via C-terminus)
