No it is not. The liver is a specialized organ involved in protein production, hormone production, detoxification, metabolization of compounds, glycogen storage and digestion. Smooth muscle, on the other hand, makes up a significant portion of the gastrointestinal track. It is interesting to note that a marker for autoimmune hepatitis (a disease of the liver) is called anti-smooth muscle antibody.
