Neurocan core protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCAN gene.[5][6]

Neurocan is a member of the lectican / chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan protein families and consists of neurocan core protein and chondroitin sulfate. It is thought to be involved in the modulation of cell adhesion and migration.[6]
