Anti-BGN antibody produced in rabbit

产品说明

一般描述

BGN (biglycan), also called proteoglycan I (PGI), which belongs to the family of proteoglycans called small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP). This protein is composed of characteristic leucine-rich repeat motifs located centrally. These motifs are linked by disulfide bond stabilized loops. It is predominantly expressed in tissues of mesenchymal type, and is found in the cell surface or in the pericellular matrix.

免疫原

Biglycan precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

应用

Anti-BGN antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for use in measuring the concentration of biglycan by sandwich ELISA method.
Anti-BGN antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

生化/生理作用

BGN (biglycan) gene encodes a leucine-rich, pericellular matrix proteoglycan that functions in the assembly of collagen fibrils and muscle regeneration. It belongs to the decorin family of proteins and contains two chains of chondroitin sulfate. It interacts with transforming growth factor β and may function in regulating its activities. The distribution of this protein indicates that it may be involved in the physiology of the neuromuscular junction, and morphogenesis and differentiation of tissues. The protein functions as an endogenous ligand for Toll-like receptors, TLR4 and TLR2, that are involved in innate immunity. It enhances inflammation via TLR4 and TLR2 signaling, leading to the synthesis of TNF-α (Tumor necrosis factor-α) and MIP-2 (macrophage inflammatory protein-2).

特点和优势

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
