BCAN - brevican Gene
Also Known as BEHAB; CSPG7
Species: Homo sapiens
About BCAN
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 272 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Restricted expression toward brain (RPKM 121.6).
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the lectican family of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that is specifically expressed in the central nervous system. This protein is developmentally regulated and may function in the formation of the brain extracellular matrix. This protein is highly expressed in gliomas and may promote the growth and cell motility of brain tumor cells. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
