Glypicans are a family of proteoglycans that play important roles in embryonic morphogenesis. The mammalian genome contains six glypicans (GPC1 to GPC6). GPC6 and GPC4 are the pair of glypicans that show the highest degree of homology within the family. GPC6‐null embryos display bone abnormalities and severely shortened intestines.
