GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	ACAN (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms	AGC1, CSPG1, CSPGCP, MSK16
Description	Aggrecan (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	This gene is a member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. The encoded protein is an integral part of the extracellular matrix in cartilagenous tissue and it withstands compression in cartilage. Mutations in this gene may be involved in skeletal dysplasia and spinal degeneration. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been observed in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
