General info

Function

Probably plays a major role in determining the retinal structure as well as in the closure of the neural tube.. Non-collagenous domain 1. May regulate extracellular matrix-dependent motility and morphogenesis of endothelial and non-endothelial cells; the function requires homotrimerization and implicates MAPK signaling.. Endostatin. Potently inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis (PubMed : 9459295). May inhibit angiogenesis by binding to the heparan sulfate proteoglycans involved in growth factor signaling (By similarity). Inhibits VEGFA-induced endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Seems to inhibit VEGFA-mediated signaling by blocking the interaction of VEGFA to its receptor KDR/VEGFR2. Modulates endothelial cell migration in an integrin-dependent manner implicating integrin ITGA5 : ITGB1 and to a lesser extent ITGAV : ITGB3 and ITGAV : ITGB5 (By similarity). May negatively regulate the activity of homotrimeric non-collagenous domain 1 (PubMed : 11257123).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the multiplexin collagen family.

Post-translational modifications

Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) of the triple-helical regions are hydroxylated.. Circulating endostatins are found as sialoglycoprotein and asialoglycoprotein structures.. Undergoes proteolytic processing by CTSL/cathepsin-L and elastase-like proteases to generate both non-collagenous domain 1 trimers and endostatin monomers (PubMed:10626789). In tissue extracts (brain, skeletal muscle, heart, kidney, testis and liver) predominantly bands of approximately 38 kDa are detected; recombinant non-collagenous domain 1 shows similar mobility. In vitro, several proteolytic cleavage sites in the non-collagenous domain 1 hinge region generating different endostatin-like peptides are reported (By similarity).
