Entrez ID 63827
Gene name Brevican
Gene symbol BCAN
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BEHABCSPG7
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q23.1
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 mat

Q96GW7
Protein name Brevican core protein (Brain-enriched hyaluronan-binding protein) (BEHAB) (Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 7)
Protein function May play a role in the terminally differentiating and the adult nervous system during postnatal development. Could stabilize interactions between hyaluronan (HA) and brain proteoglycans.
