Evolutionary conservation and association of SPARC with the basal lamina in Drosophila.

Development genes and evolution - 1 Apr 2002

Martinek Nathalie, Zou Rong, Berg Marina, Sodek Jaro, Ringuette Maurice

Abstract excerpt

SPARC (secreted protein, acidic, rich in cysteine, also called BM40 and osteonectin) is a multifunctional calcium-binding glycoprotein whose modular organization has been highly conserved between invertebrates and vertebrates, indicating a conservation of function during metazoan evolution. Genome analysis has revealed a single copy of the DrosophilaSPARC ( dSPARC) gene. As a first step towards investigating the...
