SPOCK1 SPARC (osteonectin), cwcv and kazal like domains proteoglycan 1

Gene ID: 6695, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TIC1; SPOCK; TESTICAN

Summary

This gene encodes the protein core of a seminal plasma proteoglycan containing chondroitin- and heparan-sulfate chains. The protein's function is unknown, although similarity to thyropin-type cysteine protease-inhibitors suggests its function may be related to protease inhibition. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
