Smoc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Involved in eye development and limb development. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hindlimb; and sensory organ. Used to study microphthalmia with limb anomalies. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microphthalmia with limb anomalies. Orthologous to human SMOC1 (SPARC related modular calcium binding 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Smoc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
