    small proteoglycan that regulates collagen fiber formation

    Decorin is a small proteoglycan found in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues. It plays a crucial role in regulating collagen fibrillogenesis, which is the process of collagen fiber formation, and helps maintain the structural integrity of tissues. Additionally, decorin has been shown to influence cell growth and wound healing, making it significant in both normal physiological processes and pathological conditions.
