Description
Product Characteristics:
Cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane, Extracellular matrix
Synonyms: Glypican-5, GPC5
Target Information: Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
