Do you need expression-ready SPARC Gene to study the functions and characteristics? GenScript offers SPARC gene in any custom vector for your molecular biology studies by ordering SPARC ORF Clone.
SPARC encodes a cysteine-rich acidic matrix-associated protein. The encoded protein is required for the collagen in bone to become calcified but is also involved in extracellular matrix synthesis and promotion of changes to cell shape. The gene product has been associated with tumor suppression but has also been correlated with metastasis based on changes to cell shape which can promote tumor cell invasion. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2015]
