Summary
[Mus musculus] Dcn (Decorin) is an extracellular matrix proteoglycan that stimulates proinflammatory Pdcd4 and decreases the abundance of mmu-mir-21, boosting inflammatory activity in sepsis and suppressing tumour growth.
Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a small cellular or pericellular matrix proteoglycan that is closely related in structure to biglycan protein. The encoded protein and biglycan are thought to be the result of a gene duplication. This protein is a component of connective tissue, binds to type I collagen fibrils, and plays a role in matrix assembly. It contains one attached glycosaminoglycan chain. This protein is capable of suppressing the growth of various tumor cell lines. There are multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants known for this gene. This gene is a candidate gene for Marfan syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
