Thrombospondin-1 TSP

Salajegheh M, Raju R, Schmidt J et al. (2007) Upre-gulation of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and its binding partners, CD36 and CD47 in sporadic inclusion body myositis. J Neuroimmunol 187, 166-174. 

At least 12 receptors CD 36, ICAM-1, PECAM-1/CD31, ELAM, thrombospondin (TSP), VCAM, E-selectin, chondroitin sulphate A (CSA), HA and alpha V/beta 3 integrin (Siano et al., 1998) on endothelial cells and HS, CR1 (CD35), blood group antigen A on red cells (see reviews by Sherman et al., 2003 and Cooke et al., 2004b) have been identified in the adhesion of P. falciparum-infected red cells to the vascular endothelium (sequestration/cytoadherence) and to erythrocytes (resetting).
