ID:PGS2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Decorin; AltName: Full=Bone proteoglycan II; AltName: Full=PG-S2; AltName: Full=PG40; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: May affect the rate of fibrils formation. SUBUNIT: Binds to type I and type II collagen, fibronectin and TGF-beta. Forms a ternary complex with MFAP2 and ELN. Interacts with DPT (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. PTM: The attached glycosaminoglycan chain can be either chondroitin sulfate or dermatan sulfate depending upon the tissue of origin. DISEASE: Defects in DCN are the cause of congenital stromal corneal dystrophy (CSCD) [MIM:610048]. Corneal dystrophies are inherited, bilateral, primary alterations of the cornea that are not associated with prior inflammation or secondary to systemic disease. Most show autosomal dominant inheritance. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class I subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 12 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.
