Description…

Spondin-2 is a cell adhesion protein that promotes adhesion and outgrowth of hippocampal embryonic neurons. It binds directly to bacteria and their components and functions as an opsonin for macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria. Spondin-2 is essential in the initiation of the innate immune response and represents a unique pattern-recognition molecule in the extacellular matrix for microbial pathogens. Spondin-2 also binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide.
