Glypican 2

Glypican 2 (GPC2), also known cerebroglycan, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the GPC2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
Cerebroglycan is a is_associated_with::glycophosphatidylinositol-linked integral membrane is_associated_with::heparan sulfate is_associated_with::proteoglycan found in the developing nervous system. Cerebroglycan participates in is_associated_with::cell adhesion and is thought to regulate the growth and guidance of is_associated_with::axons. Cerebroglycan has especially high affinity for laminin-1.
