About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for CSPG4: A human melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan plays a role in stabilizing cell-substratum interactionsduring early events of melanoma cell spreading on endothelial basement membranes. CSPG4 represents an integralmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan expressed by human malignant melanoma cells. (provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CSPG4_HUMAN, Q6UVK1Function: Proteoglycan playing a role in cell proliferation and migration which stimulates endothelial cells motilityduring microvascular morphogenesis. May also inhibit neurite outgrowth and growth cone collapse during axonregeneration. Cell surface receptor for collagen alpha 2(VI) which may confer cells ability to migrate on thatsubstrate. Binds through its extracellular N-terminus growth factors, extracellular matrix proteases modulating theiractivity. May regulate MPP16-dependent degradation and invasion of type I collagen participating in melanoma cellsinvasion properties. May modulate the plasminogen system by enhancing plasminogen activation and inhibitingangiostatin. Functions also as a signal transducing protein by binding through its cytoplasmic C-terminus scaffoldingand signaling proteins. May promote retraction fiber formation and cell polarization through Rho GTPase activation.May stimulate alpha-4, beta-1 integrin-mediated adhesion and spreading by recruiting and activating a signalingcascade through CDC42, ACK1 and BCAR1. May activate FAK and ERK1/ERK2 signaling cascades Gene Wiki entry for CSPG4 |
