GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SPOCK1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
SPOCK, testican-1, TIC1
Description
Sparc/osteonectin, cwcv and kazal-like domains proteoglycan (testican) 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene 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]
