Spondin-1 (also known as F-spondin) is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the ''SPON1''
gene.
It is secreted by cells of the
floor plate and may be involved in
axon guidance
Axon guidance (also called axon pathfinding) is a subfield of neural development concerning the process by which neurons send out axons to reach their correct targets. Axons often follow very precise paths in the nervous system, and how they mana ...
The protein contains 807 amino acids and is structurally composed of six
thrombospondin domains, one
reelin domain, and one spondin domain.
