Gene Information

human ... GPC3(2719)

General description

GPC3 (glypican 3) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein. It is composed of two heparan sulphate chain and a core protein. It does not have a high level of normal tissue expression. It is a heparan sulfate cell-surface protein, and its gene is localized to human chromosome Xq26.

Immunogen

Glypican-3 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-GPC3 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . 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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GPC3 (glypican 3) plays an essential role in cell growth and differentiation, and mutations in this gene are linked to Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome. It is an oncofetal protein and is up-regulated in Wilms primary and metastatic tumors. It is essential in the development of fetal kidney, and plays a role in mesodermal cell growth. It is highly up-regulated in most cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is a regulator of Wnt and Yap signaling in HCC, and thus plays a role in its pathogenesis.

Features and Benefits

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.

Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) is an X-linked condition characterized by pre- and postnatal overgrowth with visceral and skeletal anomalies. To identify the causative gene, breakpoints in two female patients with X;autosome translocations were identified. The breakpoints occur near the 5' and

Neuroblastoma prognosis is dependent on both the differentiation state and stromal content of the tumor. Neuroblastoma tumor stroma is thought to suppress neuroblast growth via release of soluble differentiating factors. Here, we identified critical growth-limiting components of the differentiating stroma
