Aggrecans

Large HYALURONAN-containing proteoglycans found in articular cartilage (CARTILAGE, ARTICULAR). They form into aggregates that provide tissues with the capacity to resist high compressive and tensile forces.

Also Known As:

Aggrecan; Cartilage-Specific Proteoglycan Core Proteins; Cartilage Specific Proteoglycan Core Proteins
