| Short Description: |
This OPTC Sandwich ELISA Kit, Ready-To-Use is an in-vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of samples in human cell culture supernatant, serum and plasma (EDTA, citrate, heparin). |
| Storage Instruction: |
The whole kit may be stored at-20°C for up to 12 months from receipt. An unopened kit may be stored in the fridge at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. Once opened store individual kit contents according to components table provided with the kit. |
| Assay Time: |
3 hrs |
| Gene Symbol: |
OPTC |
| Gene ID: |
26254 |
| Uniprot ID: |
OPT_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: |
Ready-To-Use |
| Sample Type: |
tissue homogenates, cell lysates or other biological fluids. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in cartilage and synovial membranes (at protein level). Expressed in the retina, iris, ligament, skin and fetal liver (at protein level). Expressed in the retinal pigment epithelium (at protein level). Expressed in synovial fibroblasts and subchondral bone osteoblasts. |
| Post Translational Modifications | O-glycosylated. Proteolytically cleaved by MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP8, MMP9, ADAMTS4, and ADAMTS5. Proteolytically cleaved by MMP13. The degradation of OPTC by proteases may contribute to osteoarthritis pathophysiology. Sulfated on tyrosine residues. |
| Function | Inhibits angiogenesis in the vitreous humor of the eye, and therefore represses neovascularization. Binds collagen fibrils. May be involved in collagen fiber organization via regulation of other members of the small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan superfamily. |
