Perlecan is an extracellular matrix proteoglycan. It has a large core protein of 400-450 kDa and is often produced with heparan sulfate side chains. Perlecan is found in basement membranes where it contributes to the permeability characteristics, serves as a substrate for vascular cells and binds growth factors involved in vascular remodelling (2).
Lysed bovine corneal endothelial cells and extracellular matrix
CSI 001-76 is highly specific for perlecan. There is no evidence for cross-reactivity with other connective tissue proteins (vitronectin, fibronectin, elastin, collagen, laminin).
CSI 001-76 cross-reacts with human perlecan. Other species have not been tested.
Not determined
CSI 001-76 can be used in immunoprecipitation, ELISA and immunostaining of frozen PLP-fixed sections of bovine and human tissues. CSI 001-76 is more sensitive than CSI 001-71 or CSI 001-74 in ELISA.
