Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human SPOCK1 (SPARC (osteonectin), cwcv and kazal like domains proteoglycan 1); SPOCK2 (SPARC (osteonectin), cwcv and kazal like domains proteoglycan 2); and SPOCK3 (SPARC (osteonectin), cwcv and kazal like domains proteoglycan 3).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
