About NCAN

Summary

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; carbohydrate binding activity; and hyaluronic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in central nervous system development and skeletal system development. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of synapse structural plasticity. Located in perineuronal net. Is active in synapse. Orthologous to human NCAN (neurocan). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
