About Bcan

Summary

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; carbohydrate binding activity; and hyaluronic acid binding activity. Involved in synapse maturation. Acts upstream of or within hippocampus development. Located in extracellular matrix and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; skeleton; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in high grade glioma. Orthologous to human BCAN (brevican). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
