General description

Versican (VCAN) encodes a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan named as versican. It is expressed in human fibroblasts. It consists of a hyaluronic acid-binding domain at the amino-terminal end. In the C termini, two epidermal growth factor (EGF) like repeats, a lectin-like sequence, and a complement regulatory protein-like domain are present. At the center, there is a glycosaminoglycan attachment site.

Immunogen

Versican core protein precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-VCAN antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Versican (VCAN) is involved in cell recognition. It connects extracellular matrix components and cell surface glycoproteins. It binds hyaluronan to connect proteins. As a result, it forms the large aggregate for maintaining structural integrity. Mutation in VCAN is responsible for Wagner syndrome (WS), an autosomal dominant disorder. It affects various ocular features.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
