This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-53019. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Mimecan induces ectopic bone formation in conjunction with transforming growth factor beta. Mimecan is a small proteoglycan which contains tandem leucine-rich repeats. Mimecan is encoded by the OGN gene, a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family of proteins. Mimecan induces ectopic bone formation in conjunction with transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta-1 or TGF-beta-2) and may regulate osteoblast differentiation. High expression of mimecan protein may be associated with elevated heart left ventricular mass. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of mimecan. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode mimecan have been found.
