Description

Endocan is a proteoglycan composed of a 20 kDa mature polypeptide and a 30 kDa chondroitin /?dermatan sulfate chain.

Purified recombinant human Endocan (LIP-1001) is treated with proteinase K. Then the glycan chain is?purified by ion exchange on DEAE-sepharose

Key identified biological activities :

• increases endothelial migration induced by VEGF,
• comitogen with HGF / SF and FGF-2.

Characteristics

• Purified by ion exchange chromatography
• PM: 30kDa polyacrylamide gel revealed by Alcian blue
• Format: 10 μg
• When stored at -80 ° C in phosphate buffer without preservatives
• Applications: bioassays
