GPC1 antibody (Internal Region)

Catalog No. ABIN349638

Product Details anti-GPC1 Antibody

Target: GPC1 (Glypican 1 (GPC1))

Binding Specificity: Internal Region

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This GPC1 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Specificity: This product was protein A purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using protein A coupled to agarose beads. This antibody is specific for human glypican-1 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest partial cross-reactivity with glypican from rat, mouse, Macaque, dog, cattle, and opossum sources based on 100 - 88% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with glypican from other sources has not been determined.

Cross-Reactivity: Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus)

Characteristics: This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Glypican-1 (also known as GPC1 or FLJ38078) is a member of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS). This protein is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan which is composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains and are anchored to the cell surface via a covalent linkage to glycosylphosphatidlyinositol (GPI). Glypicans can modify cell signaling pathways and contribute to cellular proliferation and tissue growth. In humans, glypican-1 is over expressed in breast and brain cancers (gliomas). All glypicans contain an N-terminal signal peptide and a hydrophobic domain in their C-terminal region which is required for attachment of the GPI anchor. The amino acid sequences of the six vertebrate glypican family members vary from 17% to 63% identity. The location of 14 cysteine amino acids is conserved between the glypicans, suggesting the existence of a highly similar three-dimensional structure. Heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains are attached at the 50 amino acids at the C-terminal end of the protein, near the anchor and the cell membrane. Glypican functions as coreceptor for a variety of growth factors. Glypican-1 has been shown to interact with SLIT2.

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: This protein A purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of human glypican-1 protein.
Immunogen Type: Peptide

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Anti-Glypican-1 protein A purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately ~61 kDa in size corresponding to glypican by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. The higher molecular weight (110kDa) of transfected Fc-glypican compared with the expected MW of glypican is likely due to the presence of the Fc-tag.
