Function

The protein expressed by the SDC1 gene is a cell surface proteoglycan with heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, linking the cytoskeleton to the interstitial matrix. It regulates exosome biogenesis alongside SDCBP and PDCD6IP. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Post-translational modifications

Shedding is enhanced by a number of factors such as heparanase, thrombin or EGF. Also by stress and wound healing. PMA-mediated shedding is inhibited by TIMP3.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the syndecan proteoglycan family.

Tissue specificity

Detected in placenta (at protein level) (PubMed:32337544). Detected in fibroblasts (at protein level) (PubMed:36213313).

Cellular localization

  • Membrane
  • Single-pass type I membrane protein
  • Secreted
  • Secreted
  • Extracellular exosome
  • Shedding of the ectodomain produces a soluble form.
