Thrombospondin-2 Couples Pressure-Promoted Chondrogenesis through NF-kappaB Signaling.
Title: Thrombospondin-2 Couples Pressure-Promoted Chondrogenesis through NF-κB Signaling.
The expression levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (the marker of activated macroglia cells), thrombospondin 2, alpha2delta-1 and presynaptic proteins were increased following elevated hydrostatic pressure in mixed cultures, but the expression levels of postsynaptic proteins were not changed.
Title: Macroglia-derived thrombospondin 2 regulates alterations of presynaptic proteins of retinal neurons following elevated hydrostatic pressure.
In the adult rat retina, TSP2, but not TSP1, secreted by glial cells may be involved in the synaptic plastic process after retinal injury through binding to its neuronal receptor alpha2delta1.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
