| Application: | Anti-BCAN 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 . |
| Application: | Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below. Immunofluorescence (1 paper) Western Blotting (1 paper) |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Brevican is a proteoglycan that functions in the formation of extracellular matrix in the brain. Its expression in the brain increases as the brain develops. It plays a role in the maintenance of the extracellular environment of mature brain. The proteoglycans function in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in the brain. |

| 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. |
| General description: | BCAN (brevican) gene encodes a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that is a member of the aggrecan/versican family. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 1q31. The N-terminal region contains a hyaluronic acid-binding domain. An epidermal growth factor-like repeat, a lectin-like and a complement regulatory protein-like domains are present at the C-terminal region. It is the smallest core protein in this family and is expressed in the developing and adult brain. It is expressed in primary cerebellar astrocytes but not in neurons. The core protein has a molar mass of 145kDa and the N terminally truncated form has a molar mass of 80Da. |
