Keratocan (KTN), also known as keratan sulfate proteoglycan keratocan, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KERA gene. It is mapped to 12q22. The protein encoded by this gene is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan that is involved in coeal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive coea plana 2 (CNA2). Keratan sulfate proteoglycans (KSPGs) are members of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. KSPGs, particularly keratocan, lumican and mimecan, are important to the transparency of the coea.
