Perlecan is an extracellular matrix proteoglycan. It has a large core protein of 400-450 kDa and is often produced with heparan sulfate side chains. Perlecan is found in basement membranes where it contributes to the permeability charateristics, serves as a substrate for vascular cells and binds growth factors involved in vascular remodelling (2).
Bovine corneal endothelial cells
CSI 001-71 is highly specific for perlecan. There is no evidence for cross-reactivity with other connective tissue proteins (vitronectin, fibronectin, elastin, collagen, laminin).
CSI 001-71 cross-reacts with human perlecan. Other species have not been tested.
Epitope is located in domain I
CSI 001-71 can be used in immunoprecipitation, ELISA and immunostaining of frozen PLP-fixed sections of bovine and human tissues. CSI 001-71 can be used in affinity chromatography to separate recombinant domain I from tissue culture fluid.
