SPARC Products

SPARC, also known as Osteonectin and Basement Membrane protein BM-40, is a phosphorylated glycoprotein with calcium-binding domains. It is secreted by endothelial cells and is present in large amounts in the parietal endoderm of mouse embryos and in human placenta. SPARC may be involved in cell proliferation, repair of tissue damage, and morphogenic processes such as re-modeling of the extracellular matrix.
