About BCAN

Summary

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; carbohydrate binding activity; and hyaluronic acid binding activity. Involved in cell-matrix adhesion; nervous system development; and regulation of neuronal synaptic plasticity. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; main axon; and perineuronal net. Is anchored component of membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and perisynaptic extracellular matrix. Used to study high grade glioma. Biomarker of high grade glioma and middle cerebral artery infarction. Orthologous to human BCAN (brevican). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
