Gene Information

human ... ASPN(54829)

General description

Asporin (ASPN) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) macromolecule. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 9q22.31. ASPN is a member of small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family.

Immunogen

Peptide with sequence C-IHENKVKKIQKDT from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_060150.3.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Asporin (ASPN) plays a vital role in regulation of chondrogenesis and helps to maintain the cartilage matrix. ASPN also facilitates transforming growth factor (TGF)-f-mediated signaling. It stimulates osteoblast collagen mineralization by interacting with collagen and calcium. Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of acetabular dysplasia (AD) and hip osteoarthritis.
