UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9BUD6 (Q9BUD6)
Gene Name:
SPON2
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Cell adhesion protein that promotes adhesion and outgrowth of hippocampal embryonic neurons. Binds directly to bacteria and their components and functions as an opsonin for macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria. Essential in the initiation of the innate immune response and represents a unique pattern-recognition molecule in the ECM for microbial pathogens (By similarity). Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
Other Modifications: View all modification sites in dbPTM
Protein Subcellular Localization: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix
