Abstract
A cDNA clone for dermatan sulfate proteoglycan-II, or decorin, has been isolated from a rat uterus library and sequenced. The cDNA and deduced amino acid sequences are 79 and 77% identical to the previously reported human and bovine sequences, respectively. The rat protein contains potential attachment sites for two glycosaminoglycan chains and four N-linked oligosaccharides, six conserved cysteine residues and multiple repeats of a leucine-rich sequence, LXXLXLXXNXL/I. Overlapping the C-end of one of these repeats is an NKISK sequence, which has been implicated in binding to fibronectin.Entities:
