About This Section Entrez Gene summary for VCAN : This gene is a member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. The protein encoded is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and is a major component of the extracellular matrix. This protein is involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis and plays a central role in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Wagner syndrome type 1. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CSPG2_HUMAN, P13611 Function : May play a role in intercellular signaling and in connecting cells with the extracellular matrix. May takepart in the regulation of cell motility, growth and differentiation. Binds hyaluronic acid Gene Wiki entry for VCAN (Versican)

VCAN for disorders About GeneDecksing OMIM gene information: 118661 OMIM disorders : 143200 UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CSPG2_HUMAN, P13611
Defects in VCAN are the cause of Wagner syndrome type 1 (WGN1) [MIM:143200]. WGN is a dominantly inherited vitreoretinopathy characterized by an optically empty vitreous cavity with fibrillary condensations and a preretinal avascular membrane. Other optical features include progressive chorioretinal atrophy, perivascular sheating, subcapsular cataract and myopia. Systemic manifestations are absent in WGN 20/76 diseases for VCAN (see all 76 ): About MalaCards wagner syndrome carpal tunnel syndrome odontogenic myxoma pre-eclampsia abdominal aortic aneurysm erosive vitreoretinopathy traumatic brain injury aortic aneurysm lichen sclerosus gastrointestinal stromal tumor chorioretinal atrophy brain injury crescentic glomerulonephritis chorioretinitis chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cutaneous malignant melanoma intracranial aneurysm oral squamous cell carcinoma myxoma costello syndrome 10/22 Novoseek disease relationships for VCAN gene (see all 22 ) About this table
