Spock1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity; and metalloendopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; negative regulation of cell-substrate adhesion; and negative regulation of endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be located in neuromuscular junction; node of Ranvier; and sarcoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space and postsynaptic density. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human SPOCK1 (SPARC (osteonectin), cwcv and kazal like domains proteoglycan 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 rat Spock1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
