Further Information

Long Description:
TSG-6, also known as TNFIP6, is a secretory protein and member of the LINK-Module superfamily. It contains a hyaluronan-binding domain which is involved in extracellular matrix stability and cell migration. The expression of TSG-6 can be induced by TNF-α and IL-1 (1). It can also be induced by mechanical stimuli in vascular smooth muscle cells and is correlated with proteoglycan synthesis and aggregation (2). Cells reported to express TSG-6 include activated fibroblasts, synoviocytes, chondrocytes, neutrophils, endothelium and smooth muscle (2). TSG-6 forms a stable complex with inter-alpha-inhibitor (IαI) and thus enhances the serine protease inhibitory activity of IαI (3). It seems to play a critical negative regulatory feed-back function in inflammation, especially in arthritic processes (4). Growing evidence also indicates that TSG-6 acts as a crucial factor in ovulation by influencing the expansion of the hyaluronan-rich cumulus extracellular matrix in the pre-ovulatory follicle (5). TSG-6 also interacts with matrix associated molecules, such as aggregcan, versican, thrombospondin (1-2), pentraxin-3 and fibronectin.
