Gene data
SPOCK1- Name
- SPARC (osteonectin), cwcv and kazal like domains proteoglycan 1
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- SPOCK, TESTICAN, TIC1
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].

Testican-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SPOCK1 gene.
This gene encodes the protein core of a seminal plasma proteoglycan containing chondroitin- and heparan-sulfate chains. The protein's function is under research, though it is from the same family of glycoproteins as SPARC. It is thought its similarity to thyropin-type cysteine protease inhibitors suggests its function may be related to protease inhibition.
