Vertebrate SLRP family evolution and the subfunctionalization of osteoglycin gene duplicates in teleost fish

Abstract Background Osteoglycin (OGN, a.k.a. mimecan) belongs to cluster III of the small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRP) of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In vertebrates OGN is a characteristic ECM protein of bone. In the present study we explore the evolution of SLRP III and OGN in teleosts tha...
