Thrombospondins (TSPs) are a family of secreted glycoproteins with antiangiogenic functions. Due to their dynamic role within the extracellular matrix they are considered matricellular proteins.[1] The first member of the family, thrombospondin 1 (THBS1), was discovered in 1971 by Nancy L. Baenziger.[2]
