NCIt definition : Basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein (4391 aa, 469
kDa) is encoded by the human HSPG2 gene. This protein is involved in both the mediation
of cell adhesion and the structural integrity of the basement membrane.;
NCIt note : Proteolytic processing of basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan
core protein produces the C-terminal peptide, endorepellin. This peptide can be further
processed to produce the LG3 peptide. Both peptides inhibit angiogenesis. (UniProt);
