Western blot analysis of SMOC-2 expression in A-10 (A) and C2C12 (B) whole cell lysates and rat skeletal muscle (C) and mouse heart (D) tissue extracts.
SMOC-2 (SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein-2), also known as SMAP2, MST117, MSTP117 or MSTP140, is a secreted modular calcium-binding glycoprotein found in the extracellular space. SMOC-2 is a member of the SPARC/BM-40 family and contains two EF-hand domains, one Kazal-like domain and two thyroglobulin type-1 domains. The SPARC/BM-40 family has been implicated in tissue remodeling, angiogenesis and bone mineralization. SMOC-2 is a widely expressed protein with highest expression levels found in spleen, ovary, muscle and heart tissues. SMOC-2 may interact directly with VEGF or FGF and is believed to participate in angiogenic activity, cell proliferation and migration. In addition, SMOC-2 is required for efficient growth factor-induced DNA synthesis, and its overexpression greatly stimulates DNA synthesis. For this reason, SMOC-2 is a potential target for anti-angiogenic therapies.
