Aggrecan (Proteoglycan, PG, AGC 1, Aggrecan 1, Antigen Identified By Monoclonal A0122, Cartilage Specific Proteoglycan Core Protein, Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Core Protein 1, CSPCP, CSPG1, CSPGCP, Large Aggregating Proteoglycan, MSK16, SEDK)
Description:
Aggrecan is a proteoglycan and member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family, which forms a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of both cartilage and the central nervous system (CNS). Studies using a panel of core protein-directed antibodies against human aggrecan, revealed the distribution of different aggrecan isoforms within the CNS, and sub-divided the isoforms into clusters 1-5 accordingly. These studies also showed a difference in the relative abundance of these isoforms when comparing brain and cartilage tissues.
