Background	SPARC (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine)/Osteonectin is a matricellular glycoprotein that modulates cellular interactions with the ECM and is expressed in tissues undergoing remodeling. It functions as a de-adhesive protein, as a modulator of growth factor activity, and as a cell-cycle inhibitor. It induces changes in endothelial cell shape via F-actin, coincident with the appearance of intercellular gaps, that provide a paracellular pathway for extravasation of macromolecules. Tumor growth is enhanced in mice lacking SPARC due to changes in the ECM that create a more permissive environment for tumor progression.
Synonyms	ON, Basement-membrane protein 40, BM-40
Note	GeneID 6678
