About Vcan

Summary

Enables protein Phosphatase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within heart development and ureteric bud development. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; and jaw. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intracranial aneurysm. Orthologous to human VCAN (versican). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
