Activity summary

Biglycan also known as BGN is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan with a molecular weight of roughly 38 kDa. Researchers frequently observe Biglycan in tissues such as bone cartilage and vasculature. The protein interacts with several other molecules in the extracellular matrix (ECM) including collagen and elastin to maintain the structural integrity of tissues. Through these interactions Biglycan plays an important role in supporting cell attachment and matrix organization.

Biological function summary

The protein Biglycan influences cellular processes such as growth and differentiation. It is part of a complex network within the ECM that modulates cell signaling. Biglycan interacts with growth factors like transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and binds to Toll-like receptors (TLRs) affecting immune responses. These capabilities reveal Biglycan’s involvement in tissue development and repair.

Pathways

Extracellular matrix modulation shows a significant role for Biglycan. It is involved in the TGF-beta signaling pathway and the inflammatory pathway mediated by TLRs. Through these pathways Biglycan interacts with proteins such as decorin and fibromodulin contributing to the regulation of collagen fibrillogenesis and inflammatory responses. Its role in these pathways highlights Biglycan’s influence in cellular communication and matrix regulation.

Associated diseases and disorders

Biglycan has associations with osteoarthritis and muscular dystrophy. In osteoarthritis researchers observe altered expression levels of Biglycan which affects cartilage integrity. In muscular dystrophy the protein’s connection to dystrophin an important structural protein is noted. These associations illustrate Biglycan's impact on disease progression and its potential as a therapeutic target.
