Background: Perlecan (PLC) also known as HSPG2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HSPG2 gene. It is mapped to 1p36.12. Perlecan is highly conserved across species and the available data indicate that it has evolved from ancient ancestors by gene duplication and exonshuffling. Perlecan is a key component of the vascular extracellular matrix, here it interacts with a variety of other matrix components and helps to maintain the endothelial barrier function. It is a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation and is thus thought to help maintain vascular homeostasis. Perlecan can also promote growth factor (e.g., FGF2) activity and thus stimulate endothelial growth and re-generation.

Immunogen: E.coli-derived human HSPG2 recombinant protein (Position: F524-K701). Human HSPG2 shares 86% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse HSPG2.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains antibody formulated with stabilizing components, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2 mg Na2HPO4, and 0.05 mg NaN3.
*This antibody is supplied in a stabilized formulation.
Compatibility with conjugation reactions depends on the chemistry of the conjugation method used.
For conjugation methods that are not compatible with the stabilizing components present in this formulation, a carrier-free antibody format is required.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
