Gene: BCAN

Alternate names for this Gene: BEHAB|CSPG7

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
