Biochem/physiol Actions

SMOC1 plays an essential role in ocular and limb development. It participates in the regulation of cell-matrix interaction by binding to many cell-surface receptors, the extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines. It also functions in bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) signaling cascade. Mutation in SMOC1 causes a rare autosomal-recessive disorder, microphthalmia and limb anomalies (MLA).

General description

SPARC related modular calcium binding 1 (SMOC1) is an extracellular glycoprotein belonging to the SPARC family. It is localized and secreted in bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) stimulated with osteogenic medium (OSM). The protein is expressed in the developing optic stalk, ventral optic cup, and limbs of mouse embryos. It is composed of five domains, an N-terminal follistatin-like (FS) domain, two thyroglobulin-like (TY) domains similar to SMOC, and an extracellular calcium-binding (EC) domain.
