A novel member of the thrombospondin gene family, thrombospondin-4, has been cloned and sequenced. A frog thrombospondin-4 DNA and the mammalian homolog of the frog DNA are disclosed. Recombinant vectors and cells are described. Methods of providing isolated thrombospondin-4 DNA and polypeptide sequences are disclosed, as well as methods of making transgenic animals containing, or lacking, the thrombospondin-4 gene. |
