Syndecan 1 is a transmembrane (type I) heparan sulfate proteoglycan and is a member of the syndecan proteoglycan family.
The syndecans mediate cell binding, cell signaling, and cytoskeletal organization and syndecan receptors are required for internalization of the HIV-1 tat protein.
The syndecan-1 protein functions as an integral membrane protein and participates in cell proliferation, cell migration and cell-matrix interactions via its receptor for extracellular matrix proteins.
Altered syndecan-1 expression has been detected in several different tumor types.
While several transcript variants may exist for this gene, the full-length natures of only two have been described to date.
These two represent the major variants of this gene and encode the same protein.
