The thrombospondins are a family of multifunctional proteins. The family consists of thrombospondins 1-5 and can be divided into 2 subgroups: A, which contains TSP-1 and TSP-2, and B, which contains TSP-3, TSP-4 and TSP-5 (also designated cartilage oligomeric protein or COMP). TSP-1 and TSP-2 are homotrimers, consisting of three identical ...
The average 70 kg (150 lb) adult human body contains approximately 7 × 10 27 atoms and contains at least detectable traces of 60 chemical elements. [5] About 29 of these elements are thought to play an active positive role in life and health in humans.
Thrombospondin 1, abbreviated as THBS1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the THBS1 gene. [5] [6] Thrombospondin 1 is a subunit of a disulfide-linked homotrimeric protein. This protein is an adhesive glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions.
Among the many-celled groups are animals and plants. The number of cells in these groups vary with species; it has been estimated that the human body contains around 37 trillion (3.72×10 13) cells, [7] and more recent studies put this number at around 30 trillion (~36 trillion cells in the male, ~28 trillion in the female).

98.6 °F (37.0 °C) is not the normal or average temperature of the human body. That figure comes from an 1860 study, [295] but modern research shows that the average internal temperature is 36.4 °C (97.5 °F), with small fluctuations. [296] [297] [298] The cells in the human body are not outnumbered 10 to 1 by microorganisms. The 10 to 1 ...
