BIGH3, also known as TGFBI and Beta ig-h3, is an extracellular matrix protein induced by transforming growth factor(TGF)-beta 1. BIGH3 protein is involved in cell growth, cell differentiation, wound healing and cell adhesion. In addition, some missense mutations of BIGH3 were identified in families affected with human autosomal dominant corneal dystrophies. BIGH3 gene encodes for a 683 amino-acid protein containing an RGD motif and four internal repeated domains which have highly conserved sequences founded in several species (Fasciclin domain). Recombinant human BIGH3 protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
