This gene is a member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. The encoded protein is an integral part of the Extracellular matrix in cartilagenous tissue and it withstands compression in cartilage. Mutations in this gene may be involved in skeletal dysplasia and spinal degeneration. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been observed in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Catalog No
L0101
Reactivity
Human, Rat
Applications
WB, IHC-p, IF(paraffin section), ELISA
Modification
Cleaved Specific
Source
Polyclonal Rabbit
Dilution
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. ELISA: 1/20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Aggrecan. AA range:320-369
Specificity
Cleaved-Aggrecan (D369) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of fragment of activated Aggrecan protein resulting from cleavage adjacent to D369.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
