Anti-Keratocan Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Product Specifications

Background

Keratocan (KTN), also known as keratan sulfate proteoglycan keratocan, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KERA gene. It is mapped to 12q22. The protein encoded by this gene is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan that is involved in corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2) . Keratan sulfate proteoglycans (KSPGs) are members of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. KSPGs, particularly keratocan, lumican and mimecan, are important to the transparency of the cornea.
