Gene Information

human ... DCN(1634)

General description

DCN (decorin) gene encodes a small leucine-rich proteoglycan that belongs to the SLRP (small leucine-rich proteoglycan) family. It binds to and decorates collagen I fibers. It contains a 396 amino acid long core domain (decoron) and a curved solenoid fold consisting of several leucine-rich repeats. The decoron interacts with four to six collagen molecules.

Immunogen

Decorin precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-DCN 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.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The protein decorin is encoded by the gene DCN and functions in the regulation of fibrillogenesis. It is involved in the sequestration of growth factors, including transforming growth factor beta-1,2 (TGF-β1, -2), and myostatin. It inhibits receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family of proteins, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), insulin-like growth factor receptor I (IGF1R) and hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR). It also binds to toll-like receptors 2 and 4 and functions in the control of inflammation.

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.
