Background
Syndecan-2 is a member of the Syndecans family comprised of type I transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) that are involved in the regulation of many cellular processes. Four sub-types of mammalian Syndecans have been reported and among them. Syndecan-2 plays a role in the cancer development. It can affect the basal and chemotherapy-induced apoptosis in osteosarcoma. It can also suppress MMP2 activation, suppressing metastasis.
