It has a mass of approximately 250 kDa. Aggrecan is expressed mostly in cartilage regions such as articular cartilage but it might also be found in other connective tissues. The structure of aggrecan consists of a core protein that attaches to glycosaminoglycan chains allowing it to create hydrated gel structures essential for the resilience and load-bearing properties of cartilage.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAggrecan plays a significant role in maintaining the structural integrity of cartilage by providing resistance to compression. This proteoglycan is a central component of the extracellular matrix forming large aggregates with hyaluronic acid and link proteins. These aggregates contribute to the cartilage's osmotic properties helping resist compression during joint movement. Aggrecan's structural properties make it necessary for normal joint function and health.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nAggrecan interacts within the cartilage development and maintenance frameworks. Specifically it participates in the regulation of the ECM-receptor interaction pathway and the proteoglycans in cancer pathway. Aggrecan functions alongside proteins such as type II collagen to ensure biomechanical properties of the cartilage. Additionally its enzymatic breakdown by aggrecanases like ADAMTS can impact these pathways leading to various physiological effects.\u003cbr\u003e\nAggrecan is closely associated with osteoarthritis and intervertebral disc degeneration. In osteoarthritis the loss of aggrecan through enzymatic degradation leads to reduced joint function and increased pain. The breakdown involves aggrecanases and other matrix metalloproteinases resulting in cartilage degradation. Diseases such as intervertebral disc degeneration also link to the reduced presence or altered structure of aggrecan impacting spine health and mobility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855371980969,"sku":"ab315140","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab315140","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
