New Associated Protein Candidates |
Known extracellular matrix interactions |
---|---|
Annexins V, II | Ca2+ channels, major components of matrix vesicles with activity stimulated by matrix binding e.g. collagens II and X [112]. |
Vimentin | Intracellular intermediate filaments interact with matrix indirectly via vimentin-associated matrix adhesions (VAMs) [113]. |
βig-H3 | Matrix molecule with versatile roles in tissue homeostasis; interacts with numerous matrix components [114]. |
IGFBP3, -7 | Modulate IGF in tissue which can be affected by their direct interaction with fibronectin [115]. |
PAI-1 | Protease inhibitor mediates the degradation of matrix [116]. |
