Background

CSPG4, also named as HMW-MAA, MCSP, MCSPG, MEL-CSPG, MSK16 and NG2, is a proteoglycan playing a role in cell proliferation and migration which stimulates endothelial cells motility during microvascular morphogenesis. CSPG4 may inhibit neurite outgrowth and growth cone collapse during axon regeneration. It is cell surface receptor for collagen alpha 2(VI) which may confer cells ability to migrate on that substrate. CSPG4 is also a signal-transducing protein by binding through its cytoplasmic C-terminus scaffolding and signaling proteins. It is a target of specific diagnosis and immunotherapy with antiidiotypic antibodies due, in part, to its roles in growth control, adhesion, cell-substratum interactions, and cell-cell contacts.
