Entry term(s) Proteoglicano Lumican
proteoglucano lumican
Scope note: Pequeño proteoglucano que contiene 10 repeticiones de leucina en tándem y 4 sitios de unión-N dentro de la región de repeticiones de leucina que pueden ser sustituidos por QUERATÁN SULFATO. Estas propiedades y su forma en herradura le permiten mediar interacciones entre las moléculas de COLÁGENO y las fibrillas. Se expresa en la mayoría de los tejidos mesenquimatosos y en la CÓRNEA donde actúa manteniendo su transparencia.

Scope note: A small leucine-rich proteoglycan that contains 10 tandem leucine repeats and four N-linked sites within the leucine repeat region that may be substituted with KERATAN SULFATE. These properties and its horseshoe shape allow it to mediate interactions among COLLAGEN molecules within fibrils. It is expressed in most mesenchymal tissues as well as the CORNEA, where it functions to maintain transparency.
