Periostin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POSTN gene. Its over-expression was reported in several types of cancer, most frequently in the environment of tumor cells.
Function: Binds to heparin. Induces cell attachment and spreading and plays a role in cell adhesion. May play a role in extracellular matrix mineralization.
