Lumican is a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family. It is present in numerous extracellular matrices of different tissues, such as muscle, cartilage, and cornea. In skin, lumican is present as a glycoprotein. It plays a critical role in collagen fibrillogenesis, as shown by knocking out of its gene in mice. A direct link between lumican expression and melanoma progression and metastasis has been demonstrated. Lumican was shown to impede tumour cell migration and invasion by directly interacting with the α2β1 integrin. In addition, an active sequence of the lumican core protein, called lumcorin, was identified as being responsible for inhibition of melanoma cell migration. Lumican was also shown to exert angiostatic properties by downregulating the proteolytic activity associated with endothelial cell membranes, particularly matrix metalloproteinase （MMP）-14 and MMP-9.?
