Background: Mimecan

Mimecan, also known as KSPG25 (25 kDa Keratan Sulfate Proteoglycan) and Osteoglycin, is an extracellular matrix protein belonging to the class III subfamily of the small leucine rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRPs are characterized by leucine rich repeats in the central domain, which is flanked by N- and C-terminal cysteine‑rich domains. The core proteins contain N-linked oligosaccharides as well as glycosaminoglycan side chains. Mimecan is synthesized as a preproprotein that is processed to generate proteins of different sizes including Osteoglycin (containing 93 most C‑terminal amino acid residues) and Mimecan (containing 223 most C‑terminal residues). Mouse Mimecan shares approximately 94% and 85% amino acid sequence identity with rat and human Mimecan, respectively.
