SMOC2
SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMOC2 gene.[5][6]
Clinical relevance
This gene has been shown mutated in clinical cases of major dental developmental defects.[7]
Brachycephalic dogs show a shortening of the snout along with a widening of the hard palate. This skull form is highly associated with disorders of breathing and of the eyes. Brachycephaly in dogs is correlated to a retrotransposon induced missplicing the SMOC2 gene.[8]
gollark: I checked.
gollark: #5 has a rickroll in it.
gollark: OH BEE
gollark: I suspected the CA bit was somehow used to preprocess the input, but no, it is not probably.
gollark: I'd assume most of us have at least a vague idea of what the CAs used are.
