Gene Information
human ... BCAN(63827)
General description
BCAN (brevican) gene encodes a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that is a member of the aggrecan/versican family. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 1q31. The N-terminal region contains a hyaluronic acid-binding domain. An epidermal growth factor-like repeat, a lectin-like and a complement regulatory protein-like domains are present at the C-terminal region. It is the smallest core protein in this family and is expressed in the developing and adult brain. It is expressed in primary cerebellar astrocytes but not in neurons. The core protein has a molar mass of 145kDa and the N terminally truncated form has a molar mass of 80Da.
Immunogen
Brevican core protein precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-BCAN 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.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Brevican is a proteoglycan that functions in the formation of extracellular matrix in the brain. Its expression in the brain increases as the brain develops. It plays a role in the maintenance of the extracellular environment of mature brain. The proteoglycans function in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in the brain.
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:
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.

A diverse set of proteoglycans is expressed in the developing and adult brain. This is in stark contrast to the fact that most extracellular matrix components, including fibronectin, laminin, and collagens, are not expressed in adult brain parenchyma. This suggests

To clone novel brain proteoglycans, we employed a strategy based on polyclonal antisera that recognize multiple proteoglycan core proteins. By using an antiserum raised against a fraction enriched for proteoglycans, we isolated three groups of cDNAs from a bovine brain

We have used a slot-blot radioimmunoassay to quantitate the levels of hyaluronan-binding chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in developing rat brain from embryonic day 14 (E 14) to eight months postnatal. Recombinant nonhomologous regions of the core proteins were used for immunization

Most patients affected by Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, grade IV glioma) experience a recurrence of the disease because of the spreading of tumor cells beyond surgical boundaries. Unveiling mechanisms causing this process is a logic goal to impair the killing capacity

Parkinson's disease's etiology is unknown, although evidence suggests the involvement of oxidative modifications of intracellular components in disease pathobiology. Despite the known involvement of the extracellular matrix in physiology and disease, the influence of oxidative stress on the matrix has
