SPOCK3 SPARC (osteonectin), cwcv and kazal like domains proteoglycan 3

Gene ID: 50859, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TES-3; TICN3; HSAJ1454

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a novel family of calcium-binding proteoglycan proteins that contain thyroglobulin type-1 and Kazal-like domains. The encoded protein and may play a role in adult T-cell leukemia by inhibiting the activity of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
