Bio-Rad, MCA1454G, Aggrecan antibody | 7D4

Mouse anti Human Aggrecan antibody, clone 7D4 recognizes human aggrecan, a proteoglycan and member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family, which forms a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of both cartilage and the central nervous system (CNS). Using a panel of core protein-directed antibodies directed against human aggrecan, revealed the distribution of different aggrecan isoforms within the CNS, and sub-divided the isoforms into clusters 1-5 accordingly. highlighting a difference in the relative abundance of these isoforms when comparing brain and cartilage tissues ( Virgintino et al. 2009 ). Mouse anti Human Aggrecan antibody, clone 7D4 recognizes epitopes within the N-terminal G1-IGD-G2 region of aggrecan, identified as a cluster 1 isoform.
