| Note: | STRICTLY FOR FURTHER SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). MUST NOT TO BE USED IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS. |
| Short Description : | Rabbit polyclonal antibody anti-Aggrecan (200-250 aa) is suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot research applications. |
| Clonality : | Polyclonal |
| Conjugation: | Unconjugated |
| Isotype: | IgG |
| Formulation: | Lyophilised |
| Purification: | IgG purified |
| Dilution Range: | IHC, WB. A dilution of 1: 300 to 1: 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications. |
| Storage Instruction: | Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at-20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles. |
| Gene Symbol: | ACAN |
| Gene ID: | 176 |
| Uniprot ID: | PGCA_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | 200-250 aa |
| Specificity: | Specific for Aggrecan. |
| Immunogen: | A synthetic peptide from aa region 200-250 of human Aggrecan conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous with rat and mouse sequences. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Contains mostly chondroitin sulfate, but also keratan sulfate chains, N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. The release of aggrecan fragments from articular cartilage into the synovial fluid at all stages of human osteoarthritis is the result of cleavage by aggrecanase. |
| Function | This proteoglycan is a major component of extracellular matrix of cartilagenous tissues. A major function of this protein is to resist compression in cartilage. It binds avidly to hyaluronic acid via an N-terminal globular region. |
