ورسیکَن (انگلیسی: Versican) که با نامهای اختصاری دیگری همچون «CSPG2» و «PG-M» هم شناخته میشود، یک پروتئوگلیکان بزرگ در ماتریکس برونیاختهای است که در بافتهای مختلف بدن انسان موجود است و توسط ژن «VCAN» (ویکَن) کُد میشود.[۴][۵]
این پروتئین یکی از فاکتورهای اساسی در فرایند التهاب است. ورسیکن در دستگاه عصبی مرکزی در «شبکهٔ دور نورونی» (PNN) یافت میشود. با اینکه این پروتئین در پوست سالم وجود ندارد، اما در بافت جوشگاه و کلوئید دیده میشود.[۶]
