Background: Keratocan

Keratocan is a keratan sulfate-containing proteoglycan that is highly expressed in human cornea (1, 2). It is an extracellular matrix protein that belongs to the class II small leucine-rich proteoglycan family (1). This class of protein contains 10-12 leucine-rich repeat motifs flanked by conserved cysteine residues in N-and C-terminal domains of the core proteins (1, 3). Human keratocan is expressed as a 352 amino acid (aa) protein that includes a 20 aa signal peptide and the 332 aa keratocan protein containing ten LRR motifs (2). Human keratocan shares 87% and 88% aa identity with mouse and rat keratocan, respectively. Keratocan is expressed in the cornea and tendon where it is likely to play a role in collagen fibrillogenesis and in maintaining corneal clarity (4, 5). Keratocan is also expressed in the bone and can modulate osteogenic differentiation (6).
