Study selection:Careful review of all relevant literature,the references of the retrieved articles were also screened to search for potentially relevant papers.Results:OLFML3 is a secreted glycoprotein with 406 amino acid residues,belonging to the Olfactomedin (OLF) family.Due to the particularity of its structure and differential expression,OLFML3 has unique biological functions that could be distinct from other members in the OLF family.The currently known functions include embryonic development function and tumorigenesis.The regulation mechanism is still under investigation.It is directly related to many human diseases.Conclusions:OLFML3 is a mukifunctional glycoprotein that is closely involved in embryonic development,tumor invasion,and metastasis.Unfortunately,current research on this important molecule is still very limited.Further investigations on the possible mechanism of OLFML3 biological functions and modulation will help us develop better diagnostics and treatments.展开更多
