background:
Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) such as Decorin, Biglycan, Fibromod-ulin, Keratocan, Lumican and Osteoglycin mediate extracellular matrix organization and are binding partners of TGF Beta. The Decorin core protein binds to growth factors, intercellular matrix molecules such as Fibronectin and Throm-bospondin, and to the Decorin endocytosis receptor. Fibromodulin is a collagen-binding keratan sulphate proteoglycan that influences adhesion processes of connective tissue and plays a role in fibrillogenesis by regulating collagen fibril spacing and thickness. Keratocan (KTN) develops corneal transparency and maintains the stromal matrix structure. Keratocan is a secreted protein in the extracellular matrix that binds to keratan sulfate chains. Keratocan is mainly detected in the cornea, but can also be expressed in trachea, intestine, ovary, lung and skeletal muscle. Defects in the gene encoding for Keratocan can cause cornea plana 2 (CNA2), an autosomal recessive disorder where the forward convex curvature of the cornea is flattened.

Function:
May be important in developing and maintaining corneal transparency and for the structure of the stromal matrix.

Subcellular Location:
Secreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix.

Tissue Specificity:
Cornea. Increased expression in the stroma of keratoconus corneas. Also detected in trachea, and in low levels, in intestine, skeletal muscle, ovary, lung and putamen.

DISEASE:
Defects in KERA are the cause of the autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2) [MIM:217300]. In CNA2, the forward convex curvature is flattened, leading to a decrease in refraction, reduced visual activity, extreme hyperopia (usually plus 10 d or more), hazy corneal limbus, opacities in the corneal parenchyma, and marked arcus senilis (often detected at an early age). CNA2 is a rare disorder with a worldwide distribution, but a high prevalence in the Finnish population.

Similarity:
Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class II subfamily. Contains 10 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. Contains 1 LRRNT domain.
