Related Product Information for anti-GRN antibody
PCDGF, also known as PC cell-derived growth factor, GP88, acrogranin, granulin precursor, epithelin precursor, or progranulin, is a glycoprotein and growth factor involved in tumorigenesis, the regulation of mitosis, non-neoplastic proliferative disorders, early embryonic development, cell division, cell invasion, cell survival, and hypothalamic differentiation. Because PCDGF regulates multiple steps during carcinoma progression, it may represent a future therapeutic target. PCDGF mediates resistance to the cancer drug tamoxifen, and promotes tumor growth of human breast cells. Breast cancer samples that are estrogen receptor-positive and also overexpress PCDGF may therefore represent adverse consequences for patients if they are treated with tamoxifen. PCDGF may promote metastasis and angiogenesis in human breast cancer cells, in addition to stimulating their proliferation and survival. PCDGF staining is observed in breast carcinoma, whereas it is almost always negative in benign breast epithelium. PCDGF expression is more common in invasive ductal carcinoma than in invasive lobular carcinoma. PCDGF expression in human breast carcinoma correlates with clinicopathological variables such as tumor grade, proliferation index, and p53 expression, suggesting an important role of PCDGF in breast cancer pathogenesis. PCDGF is also expressed in human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, human prostatic intraepithelial neoplasma (PIN) and invasive prostatic adenocarcinoma.

NCBI Description

Granulins are a family of secreted, glycosylated peptides that are cleaved from a single precursor protein with 7.5 repeats of a highly conserved 12-cysteine granulin/epithelin motif. The 88 kDa precursor protein, progranulin, is also called proepithelin and PC cell-derived growth factor. Cleavage of the signal peptide produces mature granulin which can be further cleaved into a variety of active, 6 kDa peptides. These smaller cleavage products are named granulin A, granulin B, granulin C, etc. Epithelins 1 and 2 are synonymous with granulins A and B, respectively. Both the peptides and intact granulin protein regulate cell growth. However, different members of the granulin protein family may act as inhibitors, stimulators, or have dual actions on cell growth. Granulin family members are important in normal development, wound healing, and tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq]

Uniprot Description

GRN: Granulins have possible cytokine-like activity. They may play a role in inflammation, wound repair, and tissue remodeling. Defects in GRN are the cause of ubiquitin-positive frontotemporal dementia (UP-FTD); also known as tau- negative frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 17. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of dementia in people under the age of 65 years. It is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease. Defects in GRN are the cause of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 11 (CLN11). A form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis characterized by rapidly progressive visual loss due to retinal dystrophy, seizures, cerebellar ataxia, and cerebellar atrophy. Cognitive decline may also occur. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are progressive neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage diseases characterized by intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent liposomal material. Belongs to the granulin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Research Articles on GRN

1. Grn protein mutation influence mRNA levels in brain and peripheral mononuclear cells in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
2. Progranulin activated the MAPK-signaling pathway in NIH-OVCAR-3 cells. Progranulin expression may be potentially involved in the pathogenesis and malignant progression of ovarian cancer
3. evidence for a role of circulating GRN as a biochemical biomarker in neurodegeneration is reviewed, with a specific focus on its relevance in Alzheimer's disease
4. mutations affect the function of full-length PGRN as well as elastase cleavage of PGRN into GRNs, leading to neurodegeneration
5. Sixteen different non-synonymous changes, eleven of which are novel variants, were identified in GRN AND MAPT.
6. TMEM106B variants also contribute to genetic risk for frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 inclusions in individuals with mutations in GRN.
7. According to these data, progranulin does not likely play a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis
8. GRN mutation carriers have increased levels of mRNA transcript from the normal allele in brain, and proliferation of microglia likely increases progranulin levels in affected regions of the frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 inclusions brain
9. variation of GRN at rs5848 does not contribute to the etiology of frontotemporal lobar degeneration in the Dutch population
10. Suggest that intracellular GEP is a promoter-specific transcriptional repressor that modulates the function of cellular and viral transcription factors.

Product Notes

The GRN grn (Catalog #AAA613039) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The PC Cell-derived Growth Factor (PCDGF) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's PC Cell-derived Growth Factor can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP). Suitable for use in Immunoprecipitation and Western Blot. Dilution: Immunoprecipitation: 7ug/reaction Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GRN grn 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 "PC Cell-derived Growth Factor, 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.
