Summary: Enables calcium ion binding activity and heparin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in basement membrane and interstitial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human SMOC2 (SPARC related modular calcium binding 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
