Gene Summary

Gene Symbol POSTN   Gene   UCSC   Ensembl
Aliases OSF-2, OSF2, PDLPOSTN, PN
Gene name periostin
Alternate names periostin, osteoblast specific factor 2 (fasciclin I-like), periodontal ligament-specific periostin, periostin, osteoblast specific factor,
Gene location 13q13.3 (37598843: 37562581)     Exons: 25     NC_000013.11
Gene summary(Entrez) This gene encodes a secreted extracellular matrix protein that functions in tissue development and regeneration, including wound healing, and ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction. The encoded protein binds to integrins to support adhesion and migration of epithelial cells. This protein plays a role in cancer stem cell maintenance and metastasis. Mice lacking this gene exhibit cardiac valve disease, and skeletal and dental defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
