Related Product Information for anti-ACAN antibody
Versican (versatile proteoglycan; also known as PG-M) is a 500-600kD, secreted member of the Aggrecan/Versican proteoglycan family. It is a variably glycanated, hyaluronan-binding, chondroitin sulfate-containing molecule that likely serves an anti-adhesion function and regulates the hydration properties of pericellular matrices. Human Versican is 3396 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an N-terminal hyaluronan-binding region (G1; aa21-346), two large, alternately spliced GAG attachment domains (GAGalpha; aa348-1335; GAGbeta aa1336-3088) and a C-terminal selectin-like region (G3; aa3089-3396). Over aa1344-1554, human Versican shares 80% and 60% aa sequence identity with canine and mouse Versican, respectively.

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 ACAN acan (Catalog #AAA610157) is an Antibody produced from Goat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Large Proteoglycan (Versican) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Large Proteoglycan can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC). Suitable for use in Direct ELISA, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry. Dilution: Western Blot: 0.1ug/ml detects Versican in recombinant human Versican isoform V0. Immunocytochemistry: 5-15ug/ml detects Versican in immersion fixed HeLa cells. Immunohistochemistry: 5-15ug/ml detects Versican in immersion fixed frozen sections of mouse embroyo. Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ACAN 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. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Large Proteoglycan, 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.
