Asporin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ASPN gene.[4]

Function

[edit]

ASPN belongs to a family of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins associated with the cartilage matrix. The name asporin reflects the unique aspartate-rich N terminus and the overall similarity to decorin (MIM 125255) (Lorenzo et al., 2001).[4]
