Matricellular proteins: extracellular modulators of cell function.

Current opinion in cell biology - 1 Oct 2002

Bornstein Paul, Sage E Helene

Abstract excerpt

The term 'matricellular' has been applied to a group of extracellular proteins that do not contribute directly to the formation of structural elements in vertebrates but serve to modulate cell-matrix interactions and cell function. Our understanding of the mode of action of matricellular proteins has been advanced considerably by the recent elucidation of the phenotypes of mice that are deficient in these...
