Rabbit Anti-SMOC2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
SMOC 2 (Secreted modular calcium binding protein 2) is a secreted modular protein containing an EF hand calcium binding domain homologous to that in BM40. It consists of two thyroglobulin like domains, a follistatin like domain and a novel domain found only in the homologous SMOC 1. SMOC 1 and 2 form a separate group within the BM40 family. SMOC 2 is a glycoprotein with a calcium dependent conformation. SMOC 2 contains 2 EF hand calcium binding domains, 1 Kazal like domain and 2 thyroglobulin type I domains.
Function:
Promotes matrix assembly and cell adhesiveness. Can stimulate endothelial cell proliferation, migration, as well as angiogenesis.
Subunit:
Binds various proteins from the extracellular matrix.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane.
DISEASE:
Defects in SMOC2 are the cause of dentin dysplasia typ1 (DTDP1) [MIM:125400]. A dental defect in which both primary and secondary dentitions are affected. The clinical crowns of both permanent and deciduous teeth are of normal shape, form and color in most cases, although they may be slightly opalescent and blue or brown. Teeth may be very mobile and exfoliate spontaneously because of inadequate root formation. On radiographs, the roots are short and may be more pointed than normal. Pulp chambers are usually absent except for a chevron-shaped remnant in the crown. Root canals are usually absent.
Similarity:
Contains 2 EF-hand domains.
Contains 1 Kazal-like domain.
Contains 2 thyroglobulin type-1 domains.
