SPARC related modular calcium binding 1

Symbol

SMOC1 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

This gene encodes a multi-domain secreted protein that may have a critical role in ocular and limb development. Mutations in this gene are associated with microphthalmia and limb anomalies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
