Molecular cloning, expression analysis, and function of decorin in goat ovarian granulosa cells

This study cloned the full-length cDNA of goat DCN obtained from the ovary of an adult goat. Sequence analysis revealed that the putative DCN protein shared a highly conserved amino acid sequence with known mammalian homologs. The tissue distribution of DCN mRNA expression was evaluated by real-time PCR, and results showed that DCN was widely expressed in the tissues of adult goat.
