Function |
Seems to have numerous potential physiological functions. Binds to
collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. May
function as a cell adhesion molecule. Directly mediates cytoadherence of
Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes. Binds long chain fatty
acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty
acid transport. Receptor for thombospondins, THBS1 AND THBS2, mediating
their antiangiogenic effects.
