SPARC/Osteonectin, Cwcv And Kazal Like Domains Proteoglycan 1; SPOCK; TIC1; Sparc/Osteonectin, Cwcv And Kazal-Like Domains Proteoglycan (Testican) 1; Sparc/Osteonectin, Cwcv And Kazal-Like Domains Proteoglycan (Testican); Protein SPOCK; Testican-1; TESTICAN; TICN1

This gene encodes the protein core of a seminal plasma proteoglycan containing chondroitin- and heparan-sulfate chains. The protein's function is unknown, although similarity to thyropin-type cysteine protease-inhibitors suggests its function may be related to protease inhibition.
