Background Information
Versican, a component of the extracellular matrix and a member of the lectican family of proteoglycans, is the largest chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and has an important role in the development of the heart, musculoskeletal system and central nervous system (CNS). The structure of versican is characterized by an approximately 550-kDa core protein consisting of an amino-terminal (G1) hyaluronan binding domain, a carboxy-terminal (G3) domain, and two central chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan attachment domains, the α-GAG and β-GAG domains. Versican has four different isoforms that differ in the central GAG attachment domain: V0 (contains both α and β GAG domains), V1 (contains only the β domain), V2 (contains only the α domain) and V3 (devoid of both GAG domains)(PMID: 26385570).
