Gene nameACAN
Protein nameAggrecan
Aggrecan core protein (Cartilage-specific proteoglycan core protein)
Aggrecan core protein (Cartilage-specific proteoglycan core protein) (CSPCP) (Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core protein 1) (Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 1) [Cleaved into: Aggrecan core protein 2]
SynonymsAGC1
MSK16
CSPG1
DescriptionFUNCTION: This proteoglycan is a major component of extracellular matrix of cartilagenous tissues. A major function of this protein is to resist compression in cartilage. It binds avidly to hyaluronic acid via an N-terminal globular region.
