Rabbit Anti-HSPG2/Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan 2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes the perlecan protein, which consists of a core protein to which three long chains of glycosaminoglycans(heparan sulfate or chondroitin sulfate) are attached. The perlecan protein is a large multidomain proteoglycan that binds to and cross-links many extracellular matrix components and cell-surface molecules. It has been shown that this protein interacts with laminin, prolargin, collagen type IV, FGFBP1, FBLN2, FGF7 and Transthyretin, etc. and plays essential roles in multiple biological activities. Perlecan is a key component of the vascular extracellular matrix, where it helps to maintain the endothelial barrier function. It is a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation and is thus thought to help maintain vascular homeostasis. It can also promote growth factor (e.g., FGF2) activity and thus stimulate endothelial growth and re-generation. It is a major component of basement membranes, where it is involved in the stabilization of other molecules as well as being involved with glomerular permeability to macromolecules and cell adhesion. Mutations in this gene cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 1, Silverman-Handmaker type of dyssegmental dysplasia, and Tardive dyskinesia.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010].
Function:
Integral component of basement membranes. Component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), responsible for the fixed negative electrostatic membrane charge, and which provides a barrier which is both size- and charge-selective. It serves as an attachment substrate for cells. Plays essential roles in vascularization. Critical for normal heart development and for regulating the vascular response to injury. Also required for avascular cartilage development.
[FUNCTION] Endorepellin in an anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor peptide that inhibits endothelial cell migration, collagen-induced endothelial tube morphogenesis and blood vessel growth in the chorioallantoic membrane. Blocks endothelial cell adhesion to fibronectin and type I collagen. Anti-tumor agent in neovascularization. Interaction with its ligand, integrin alpha2/beta1, is required for the anti-angiogenic properties. Evokes a reduction in phosphorylation of receptor tyrosine kinases via alpha2/beta1 integrin-mediated activation of the tyrosine phosphatase, PTPN6.
The LG3 peptide has anti-angiogenic properties that require binding of calcium ions for full activity.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Found in the basement membranes.
Post-translational modifications:
Proteolytic processing produces the SLCterminal angiogenic peptide, endorepellin. This peptide can be further processed to produce the LG3 peptide.
N- and O-glycosylated; contains three heparan sulfate chains. The LG3 peptide contains at least three and up to five potential O-glycosylation sites but no N-glycosylation.
Similarity:
Contains 4 EGF-like domains.
Contains 22 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
Contains 11 laminin EGF-like domains.
Contains 3 laminin G-like domains.
Contains 3 laminin IV type A domains.
Contains 4 LDL-receptor class A domains.
Contains 1 SEA domain.
