Keratocan (KTN) also known as keratan sulfate proteoglycan keratocan is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KERA gene.[1][2][3]
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 cornea.[3]
Mutations of the gene cause cornea plana 2.
