Recombinant Human Neurocan Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity
>90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Silver Staining and quantitative densitometry by Coomassie® Blue Staining.
Endotoxin Level
<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity
Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to enhance the adhesion of H4 human neuroglioma cells. When 5 x 104 cells per well are added to recombinant human Neurocan coated plates, cell adhesion is enhanced in a dose dependent manner. The ED50 for this effect is 50‑200 ng/mL.

Glu23-Cys1321, with a C-terminal 6-His tag
Accession #
O14594
N-terminal Sequence
Analysis

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: Neurocan

Neurocan, also known as CSPG3 and 1D1, is a secreted chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that is primarily expressed in the central nervous system (1). Human Neurocan contains one Ig-like V-type domain, two Link domains, two EGF-like domains, one C-type lectin-like domain, and one Sushi domain (2). It is an approximately 300 kDa molecule of which 66 kDa is chondroitin sulfate and 60 kDa is N‑ and O‑linked glycosylation (3). Mature human Neurocan shares 66% aa sequence identity with mature mouse and rat Neurocan. Human Neurocan is predicted to be cleaved following Met635, resulting in N-terminal (Neurocan-130) and
C-terminal (Neurocan-C) fragments whose core glycoproteins are 130 kDa and 150 kDa, respectively (4, 5). The full length molecule is expressed in the developing and juvenile brain, while its cleavage products are found throughout adulthood (3, 4). Neurocan and Neurocan-C are produced by astrocytes and accumulate in the matrix surrounding axonal bundles and neuronal cell bodies; Neurocan-130 is found mainly in the glial cell cytoplasm (6 - 8). Following brain injury, reactive astrocytes deposit increased amounts of Neurocan in the glial scar where it impedes axonal regeneration (6, 9). Neurocan inhibits neuronal adhesion and neurite outgrowth through interactions with a variety of matrix and transmembrane molecules including NCAM-L1, NCAM-1, Syndecan-3, Glypican-1, Tenascin, Contactin-2/TAG1, and HAPLN1 (1, 6, 10 - 15).
