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.
