---|---|
Function | Integral component of basement membranes. Component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), responsible for the fixed negative electrostatic membrane charge, and which provides a barrier which is both size- and charge-selective. It serves as an attachment substrate for cells. Plays essential roles in vascularization. Critical for normal heart development and for regulating the vascular response to injury. Also required for avascular cartilage development. [LG3 peptide]: Has anti-angiogenic properties that require binding of calcium ions for full activity. |
Cellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane. Secreted |
Tissue Location | Detected in cerebrospinal fluid, fibroblasts and urine (at protein level). |

Background
Perlecan (PLC) also known as HSPG2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HSPG2 gene. It is mapped to 1p36.12. Perlecan is highly conserved across species and the available data indicate that it has evolved from ancient ancestors by gene duplication and exonshuffling. Perlecan is a key component of the vascular extracellular matrix, here it interacts with a variety of other matrix components and helps to maintain the endothelial barrier function. It is a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation and is thus thought to help maintain vascular homeostasis. Perlecan can also promote growth factor (e.g., FGF2) activity and thus stimulate endothelial growth and re-generation.
