Matricellular proteins of the Cyr61/CTGF/NOV (CCN) family and the nervous system
Matricellular proteins are secreted proteins that exist at the border of cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, instead of playing a role in structural integrity of the ECM, these proteins, that act as modulators of various surface receptors, have a regulatory function and instruct a mul...
