Summary

This gene encodes a member of a novel family of calcium-binding proteoglycan proteins that contain thyroglobulin type-1 and Kazal-like domains. The encoded protein and may play a role in adult T-cell leukemia by inhibiting the activity of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the SPOCK3 was identified as a high-confidence gene in common between mice and humans within the top 10% of genes related to lifetime alcohol consumption [Farris et al. DOI:10.1038/Mp.2014.159].
