Dcn - decorin Gene
Also Known as DC; PG40; PGII; PGS2; DSPG2; SLRR1B
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a mature protein product, which is secreted into the extracellular space to regulate Collagen fibril assembly. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit enhanced tumorigenesis in a liver Cancer model, and defects in Collagen fibrils, leading to weakened skin and tendons. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
