Rabbit anti-Human Aggrecan (AGC) Polyclonal Antibody | anti-AGC antibody
Botin-Linked Polyclonal Antibody to Aggrecan (AGC)
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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]
Uniprot Description
ACAN: 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. Defects in ACAN are the cause of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia type Kimberley (SEDK). Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias are a heterogeneous group of congenital chondrodysplasias that specifically affect epiphyses and vertebrae. The autosomal dominant SEDK is associated with premature degenerative arthropathy. Defects in ACAN are the cause of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia aggrecan type (SEMD-ACAN). A bone disease characterized by severe short stature, macrocephaly, severe midface hypoplasia, short neck, barrel chest and brachydactyly. The radiological findings comprise long bones with generalized irregular epiphyses with widened metaphyses, especially at the knees, platyspondyly, and multiple cervical-vertebral clefts. Defects in ACAN are the cause of osteochondritis dissecans short stature and early-onset osteoarthritis (OD). It is a type of osteochondritis defined as a separation of cartilage and subchondral bone from the surrounding tissue, primarily affecting the knee, ankle and elbow joints. It is clinically characterized by multiple osteochondritic lesions in knees and/or hips and/or elbows, disproportionate short stature and early-onset osteoarthritis. Belongs to the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The AGC acan (Catalog #AAA2109173) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Botin-Linked Polyclonal Antibody to Aggrecan (AGC) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Aggrecan (AGC) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunoprecipitation (IP). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AGC acan for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Ala2162~Pr o2316 (Accession # P16112). It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Aggrecan (AGC), Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
