Anti-Tenascin antibody, Mouse monoclonal

产品说明

一般描述

Monoclonal Anti-Tenascin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the BC-24 hybridoma, produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a mouse immunized with human tenascin. Tenascin-C (TN-C) is also known as Hexabrachion, Cytotactin, Neuronectin (NEC1). It is a high molecular mass extracellular matrix glycoprotein. Human tenascin is a disulfide-linked hexamer composed of 3 subunits of 190, 200, and 220 kDa.

免疫原

Human tenascin

应用

Anti-Tenascin antibody has been used:

• in immunoblotting
• in Immunohistochemistry
• in flow cytometry
• in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)
• for blocking tenascin-C proliferating activity

生化/生理作用

Tenascin-C (TN-C) functions in cell adhesion, fibroblast migration, and other processes related to tissue remodeling and wound healing. It has been proposed that actively growing, migrating and differentiating epithelial sheets can produce factors such as (Transforming growth factor beta) TGF-β to stimulate tenascin expression. Neo-expression or increased expression of tenascin has been found in the stroma of various tumors and during normal tissue repair. Intracytoplasmic tenascin immunoreactivity has been detected in malignant melanomas and in lung carcinomas, and it serves as a marker of stromal element proliferation in invasive breast carcinomas. High-molecular mass tenascin isoform plays a role in generating a permissive environment for proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of neoplastic epithelial cells. Human tenascin contains an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence which may function in cell adhesion and mediates cell attachment through an RGD-dependent integrin receptor.
