Invitrogen™ Brevican Monoclonal Antibody (N294A/6), FITC

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ MA545597

Catalog No. PIMA545597

Description

1 μg/mL of MA5-45597 was sufficient for detection of Brevican in 20 μg of rat brain lysate by colorimetric immunoblot analysis using Goat anti-mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody. Detects approximately 140kDa (and smaller due to proteolytic cleavage). This antibody was formerly sold as clone S294A-6.

Brevican is the most abundant chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in the extracellular matrix of the adult brain. It is a member of the lectican family of aggregating extracellular matrix proteoglycans that bear chondroitin sulfate (CS) chains. It is highly expressed in the central nervous system and is thought to stabilize synapses and inhibit neural plasticity. Brevican is secreted from astrocytes and neurons as a 145 kD core protein that bears up to three, covalently-linked, CS chains. It is also is secreted as a 145 kD core protein without CS chains. When cleaved by extracellular glutamyl endopeptidases, the ADAMTSs, a 55 kD N-terminal fragment is formed that contains the unique C terminal epitope EAMESE.
