Gene Information

human ... CHAD(1101)

General description

The gene chondroadherin (CHAD) has been mapped to human chromosome 17q21.33. CHAD belongs to family of leucine-rich repeat proteins. It is a cartilage matrix protein and exists in two forms, where one form lacks the C-terminal extension peptide.

Immunogen

Chondroadherin precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chondroadherin (CHAD) binds to triple helical collagen with high affinity and also binds to the α2β1 integrin at the cell surface of chondrocytes. Cells bound to CHAD via α2β1 integrin remain round and this binding induces extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in articular cartilage chondrocytes. CHAD levels are lower in patients suffering from scoliosis, a disorder causing curvature of the spine.

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.

Chondroadherin, a leucine-rich repeat family member, contains a very C-terminal sequence CKFPTKRSKKAGRH(359), now shown to bind to heparin with a K(D) of 13 μm. This observation led us to investigate whether chondroadherin interacts via this C-terminal heparin-binding domain with glycosaminoglycan
