NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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]
Uniprot Description
CSPG2: May play a role in intercellular signaling and in connecting cells with the extracellular matrix. May take part in the regulation of cell motility, growth and differentiation. Binds hyaluronic acid. Defects in VCAN are the cause of Wagner syndrome type 1 (WGN1). 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. Belongs to the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human VCAN vcan (Catalog #AAA035864) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA035864 ELISA Kit recognizes Human VCAN. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Versican, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
