Descripción de destino

Proteoglycan 4 (UniProt: Q92954; also known as Lubricin, Megakaryocyte-stimulating factor, Superficial zone proteoglycan) is encoded by the PRG4 (also known as MSF, SZP) gene (Gene ID: 10216) in human. Proteoglycan 4 is a heavily O-glycosylated, secreted, mucin-like protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-24), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form (aa 25-1404) that can be further cleaved into a C-terminal part (aa 1307-1404). It is highly expressed in synovial tissue, cartilage, and liver and is weakly expressed in heart and lung. It is reported to play a role in boundary lubrication within articulating joints and prevents protein deposition onto cartilage from synovial fluid by controlling adhesion-dependent synovial growth and inhibiting the adhesion of synovial cells to the cartilage surface. Human lubricin contains two mucin-like domains. The first mucin domain contains multiple copies of the peptide motif KEPAPTTT, with threonine residues that are critical for O-linked GalNAc-Gal-NeuAc sidechains. The second mucin-like domain is also threonine rich but does not contain the KEPAPTTT motif. It also contains a hemopexin-like (PEX) domain at its C-terminal that is suggested to be essential for extracellular matrix binding. Lack of proteoglycan 4 expression leads to premature joint failure. Its low concentration in synovial fluid following an injury is associated with increased cartilage damage and may play a role in development of osteoarthritis. Proteoglycan 4 is reported to reduce neuroinflammation and protect the blood-brain barrier after traumatic brain injury. It restores blood-brain barrier function and prevents post-traumatic loss of tight junction protein claudin 5 and reduces neuronal death. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Forma física

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitución

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Almacenamiento y estabilidad

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
