Description
Product Characteristics: RSPO3 is a member of the R-spondin family and plays a role in the regulation of Wnt (wingless-type MMTV integration site family)/beta-catenin and Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathways, which are involved in development, cell growth and disease pathogenesis (1,2). RSPO3 has been shown to be involved in regulating the balance between angioblast and blood cell specification during embryonic vasculogenesis and angiogenesis and may be involved in tumor development (3,4).
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the thrombospondin type 1 repeat supergene family. In addition, the protein contains a furin-like cysteine-rich region. Furin-like repeat domains have been found in a variety of eukaryotic proteins involved in the mechanism of signal transduction by receptor tyrosine kinases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
