![]()
Protein. Human cochlin LCCL domain aa 25-132 is fused at the N-terminus to a FLAG -tag. Source HEK 293 cells. Endotoxin content <0.01EU/µg purified protein LAL test Lonza. Lyophilized. Contains PBS. Purity >95% SDS-PAGE. Cochlin is an extracellular matrix protein expressed in the cochlea and vestibule of the inner ear. Mutations in the cochlin gene are linked to the autosomal-dominant DFNA9 syndrome, a disorder characterized by hearing loss. Cochlin is also expressed in follicular dendritic cells of the spleen and the lymph nodes. The N-terminus of cochlin contains a LCCL domain also present in Factor C, a serine protease of the horseshoe crab Limulus, involved in activating the coagulation cascade in response to LPS. A recent study showed that in response to inflammation, LPS or bacterial infection, cochlin is cleaved by the proteases aggrecanases and secreted into blood circulation.
