Research Backgrounds

Function:

This proteoglycan is a major component of extracellular matrix of cartilagenous tissues. A major function of this protein is to resist compression in cartilage. It binds avidly to hyaluronic acid via an N-terminal globular region.

PTMs:

Contains mostly chondroitin sulfate, but also keratan sulfate chains, N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. The release of aggrecan fragments from articular cartilage into the synovial fluid at all stages of human osteoarthritis is the result of cleavage by aggrecanase.

Subcellular Location:

Secreted>Extracellular space>Extracellular matrix.

Extracellular region or secreted Cytosol Plasma membrane Cytoskeleton Lysosome Endosome Peroxisome ER Golgi apparatus Nucleus Mitochondrion Manual annotation Automatic computational assertionSubcellular location
Tissue Specificity:

Restricted to cartilages.

Family&Domains:

Two globular domains, G1 and G2, comprise the N-terminus of the proteoglycan, while another globular region, G3, makes up the C-terminus. G1 contains Link domains and thus consists of three disulfide-bonded loop structures designated as the A, B, B' motifs. G2 is similar to G1. The keratan sulfate (KS) and the chondroitin sulfate (CS) attachment domains lie between G2 and G3.

Belongs to the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family.

(I) The mRNA expression of cartilage genes SOX9, COL2, and ACAN, as well as the hypertrophic cartilage gene COLX, was assessed in CO and CCO at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days. Both CCO and CO reached peak cartilage expression in 14 days, after which the expression of hypertrophy-related genes increased. However, CCO demonstrated superior cartilage formation compared to CO, with a delayed hypertrophic process. All experiments were repeated three times. ns p > 0.05, *0.01
