General description

Aggrecan (CSPG1, CSPCP, or CSPGCP) is a chondroitin-sulfate proteoglycan belonging to the family of letican proteins. Aggrecan is a large globar structure containing multiple domains including carbohydrate-recognition domains; complement binding protein domains; immunoglobulin domains; proteoglycan tandem repeats; and in some cases, EGF-like domains. It can be degraded by aggrecanase. The N-terminus of aggrecan binds ECM hyaluronan in the presence of the linking protein, and forms complex aggregates, whereas the C-terminus binds a number of other ECM proteins including tenascins, glycolipids, and fibulins. Aggrecan is a major component of cartilage tissue and it enables this tissue to withstand compression by maintaining the viso-elastic properties of cartilage. Aggrecan may also facilitate neural maturation and plasticity by contributing to the formation of perineuronal nets in the developing CNS.

Immunogen

Ovalbumin-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human Aggrecan.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in A1D1 purified protein from bovine tissue lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected Aggrecan in 10 µg of purified protein from bovine tissue lysate.

Target description
