General annotation (Comments)

Function	This proteoglycan is a major component of extracellular matrix of cartilagenous tissues. A major function of this protein is to resist compression in cartilage. It binds avidly to hyaluronic acid via an N-terminal globular region.
Subunit structure	Interacts with FBLN1 By similarity. Interacts with COMP.
Subcellular location	Secreted › extracellular space › extracellular matrix By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Restricted to cartilages. Ref.4
Developmental stage	Expression was detected in chondrocytes throughout the developing skeleton.
Domain	Two globular domains, G1 and G2, comprise the N-terminus of the proteoglycan, while another globular region, G3, makes up the C-terminus. G1 contains Link domains and thus consists of three disulfide-bonded loop structures designated as the A, B, B' motifs. G2 is similar to G1. The keratan sulfate (KS) and the chondroitin sulfate (CS) attachment domains lie between G2 and G3.
Post-translational modification	Contains mostly chondroitin sulfate, but also keratan sulfate chains, N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. The release of aggrecan fragments from articular cartilage into the synovial fluid at all stages of human osteoarthritis is the result of cleavage by aggrecanase.
Involvement in disease	Defects in ACAN are the cause of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia type Kimberley (SEDK) [MIM:608361]. Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias are a heterogeneous group of congenital chondrodysplasias that specifically affect epiphyses and vertebrae. The autosomal dominant SEDK is associated with premature degenerative arthropathy. Ref.9
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. Contains 1 C-type lectin domain. Contains 1 EGF-like domain. Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. Contains 4 Link domains. Contains 1 Sushi (CCP/SCR) domain.
