Decorin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCN gene.
This gene is mapped to 12q21.3.
It belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family and consists of a protein core containing leucine repeats with a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain consisting of either chondroitin sulfate (CS) or dermatan sulfate (DS).
Decorin is a small cellular or pericellular matrix proteoglycan and is closely related in structure to biglycan protein.
This protein is a component of connective tissue, binds to type I collagen fibrils, and plays a role in matrix assembly.
And it also may play a role in epithelial/mesenchymal interactions during organ development and shaping.
Decorin has been shown to have anti-tumorigenic properties in an experimental murine tumor model and is capable of suppressing the growth of various tumor cell lines.
