Introduction
Decorin (DCN) is a small cellular or pericellular matrix proteoglycan which is closely related in structure to biglycan protein. Decorin is a secreted protein which binds to collagen and fibronectin in extracellular matrix. Decorin appears in different glycoforms, substituted with chondroitin sulfate or dermatan sulfate consistent with the original tissue. DCN contains one attached glycosaminoglycan chain. Decorin influences the rate of fibril formation. Decorin is capable of suppressing the growth of various tumor cell lines. DCN gene defects cause corneal dystrophy. The DCN gene is a candidate gene for Marfan syndrome.
Description
DCN produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single,
glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 335 amino acids (31-359a.a.) and
having a molecular mass of 37.1kDa.
(Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at
approximately 40-57kDa).
DCN is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at
C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Sf9,
Baculovirus cells.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
DCN protein solution (1mg/ml) contains Phosphate Buffered
Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks.
Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
