Aggrecan (CSPG1, CSPCP, or CSPGCP) is a chondroitin-sulfate proteoglycan belonging to the family of letican proteins. Aggrecan is a large globar structure containing multiple domains including carbohydrate-recognition domains; complement binding protein domains; immunoglobulin domains; proteoglycan tandem repeats; and in some cases, EGF-like domains. It can be degraded by aggrecanase. The N-terminus of aggrecan binds ECM hyaluronan in the presence of the linking protein, and forms complex aggregates, whereas the C-terminus binds a number of other ECM proteins including tenascins, glycolipids, and fibulins. Aggrecan is a major component of cartilage tissue and it enables this tissue to withstand compression by maintaining the viso-elastic properties of cartilage. Aggrecan may also facilitate neural maturation and plasticity by contributing to the formation of perineuronal nets in the developing CNS.

This antibody detectes the Args neoepitope sequence in aggrecanase-cleaved aggrecan (Tortella, M. D., et al. (1999). Science. 284(5420):1664-1666.).
