BGN, 38-368aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

BGN, also known as biglycan, is a small cellular or pericellular matrix proteoglycan that is closely related in structure to two other small proteoglycans, decorin and fibromodulin. This protein plays a role in assembly of collagen fibrils and muscle regeneration. It interacts with several proteins involved in muscular dystrophy, including alpha-dystroglycan, alpha- and gamma-sarcoglycan and collagen VI, and it is critical for the assembly of the dystrophin-associated protein complex. Recombinant human BGN protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.
