Product Specific Information

PEP-235 is a 9 amino acid synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 436-441 from human Versican. The sequence of this peptide is (amino to carboxy terminus): C G G D (436) P E A A E (441).

This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product, catalog # PA1-1748A. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.

Reconstitute with 0.1 mL of distilled water.

Target Information

Versican is a member of the family of large aggregating proteoglycans (also including aggrecan, brevican, and neurocan). The protein shows wide tissue distribution which includes fibrous, articular, and elastic cartilages, as well as nervous, epidermal, arterial, and loose connective tissues. Versican V1 has been shown to enhance cell proliferation, and also induce cell transformation and protect cells from apoptosis. This was demonstrated through its ability to downregulate the expression of proapoptotic Bad. Versican`s existence as a extracellular matrix protein in human airways has also lead to the discovery of an inflammatory role in asthmatics.
