Descriptor decorina
Scope note: Pequeño proteoglicano rico en leucina que interactúa con los COLÁGENOS FIBRILARES y modifica la estructura de la MATRIZ EXTRACELULAR del TEJIDO CONJUNTIVO. Se ha demostrado también que la decorina desempeña otros papeles en la regulación de las respuestas celulares a los FACTORES DE CRECIMIENTO. La proteína contiene una única cadena de glicosaminoglicano y tiene una estructura similar al BIGLICANO.

Scope note: A small leucine-rich proteoglycan that interacts with FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and modifies the EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX structure of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. Decorin has also been shown to play additional roles in the regulation of cellular responses to GROWTH FACTORS. The protein contains a single glycosaminoglycan chain and is similar in structure to BIGLYCAN.
