Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Syndecan 4, identical to the related mouse and rat sequences.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 22 kDa; calculated MW: 21642 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Syndecan-4; Syndecan-4. Syndecan 4 is also known as SDC4. The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane (type I) heparan sulfate proteoglycan and is a member of the syndecan proteoglycan family. The syndecans mediate cell binding, cell signaling, and cytoskeletal organization and syndecan receptors are required for internalization of the HIV-1 tat protein. The syndecan-1 protein functions as an integral membrane protein and participates in cell proliferation, cell migration and cell-matrix interactions via its receptor for extracellular matrix proteins. Altered syndecan-1 expression has been detected in several different tumor types. While several transcript variants may exist for this gene, the full-length natures of only two have been described to date. These two represent the major variants of this gene and encode the same protein. Functional note: Cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate. Reported localization: Isoform 1: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Secreted. Shedding of the ectodomain produces a soluble form. . Expression/tissue context: Expressed in epithelial and fibroblastic cells. .
