Brevican core protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCAN gene.^[5]^[6]^[7] Brevican is a member of the lectican protein family.

Brevican is localised to the surface of neurons in the brain.^[8] In melanocytic cells, BCAN gene expression may be regulated by MITF.^[9]

Brevican is involved in maintaining molecule networks around nuerones and may possibly be associated with slower brain ageing and Alzheimer's prevention.^[10]
