Anti-Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan (Perlecan) Antibody, clone A7L6

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are found on cell surfaces and in the extracelluar matrix of all mammalian tissues, particularly in the core of the basement membrane. HSPGs found in the brain are dystroglycan, N-syndecan, glypican, and perlecan. The composition of HSPGs differs in the protein core, and is thought to determine the location of HSPG in the cell membrane (syndecan and glypican) and extracellular matrix (perlecan and dystroglycan). The postulated functions of HSPG include cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, migration, and morphogenesis.
Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan antibodies, in tissues, react strongly and uniformly with basement membranes. Clone A7L6 recognizes domain IV of the core protein of the large heparan sulphate proteoglycan or perlecan. The reactivity is independent of the galactosaminoglycan moieties; therefore, the epitope is not sensitive to heparinase treatment.
