Function

Endoglycosidase that cleaves heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) into heparan sulfate side chains and core proteoglycans. Participates in extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and remodeling. Selectively cleaves the linkage between a glucuronic acid unit and an N-sulfo glucosamine unit carrying either a 3-O-sulfo or a 6-O-sulfo group. Can also cleave the linkage between a glucuronic acid unit and an N-sulfo glucosamine unit carrying a 2-O-sulfo group, but not linkages between a glucuronic acid unit and a 2-O-sulfated iduronic acid moiety. It is essentially inactive at neutral pH but becomes active under acidic conditions such as during tumor invasion and in inflammatory processes. Facilitates cell migration associated with metastasis, wound healing and inflammation. Enhances shedding of syndecans, and increases endothelial invasion and angiogenesis in myelomas. Acts as a procoagulant by increasing the generation of activation factor X in the presence of tissue factor and activation factor VII. Increases cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM), independent of its enzymatic activity. Induces AKT1/PKB phosphorylation via lipid rafts increasing cell mobility and invasion. Heparin increases this AKT1/PKB activation. Regulates osteogenesis. Enhances angiogenesis through up-regulation of SRC-mediated activation of VEGF. Implicated in hair follicle inner root sheath differentiation and hair homeostasis.

Notes

Human Heparanase ELISA Kit (HPSE) (ab256401) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Heparanase (HPSE) protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, serum, and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Heparanase (HPSE) with 67.76 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Human Heparanase is an endoglycosidase which is a cell surface and extracellular matrix-degrading enzyme. It cleaves heparan sulfate proteoglycans into heparan sulfate side chains and core proteoglycans. Heparanase is also implicated in the extravasation of leukocytes and tumor cell lines. Due to its contribution to metastasis and angiogenesis, Heparanase is considered as a potential target for anti-cancer therapies. It is highly expressed in placenta and spleen and weakly expressed in lymph node, thymus, peripheral blood leukocytes, bone marrow, endothelial cells, fetal liver and tumor tissues. Human Heparanase shares 75 % sequence homology with mouse and rat.

Activity summary

Heparanase 1 also known as HPA1 or HPSE is an endo-β-D-glucuronidase enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa. It functions mechanically by cleaving heparan sulfate (HS) chains which are long sugar chains found on the extracellular matrix and cell surfaces. This cleavage activity remodels the matrix and influences cell behavior. Heparanase 1 is mainly expressed in the placenta lymphoid tissues and various tumor cells where it plays a role in matrix degradation and cell migration.

Biological function summary

When heparan sulfate is cleaved by Heparanase 1 it causes the release of HS-bound growth factors and cytokines making them available to cells. This enzymatic activity facilitates cell proliferation and angiogenesis affecting processes important for tissue repair and cancer progression. Heparanase 1 does not require a complex for its function but operates as a monomeric enzyme. Its activity is investigated using assays like heparanase activity assays or ELISA for measuring the enzyme's activity in different biological contexts including mouse models.

Pathways

The activity of Heparanase 1 intersects significantly with the regulation of angiogenesis and cell signaling pathways such as the VEGF and FGF pathways. These pathways are important for new blood vessel formation making them significant in both normal development and cancer. Heparanase 1 interacts with proteins such as VEGF which is important for blood vessel growth and integrins which are involved in cell-matrix interactions and signaling.

Associated diseases and disorders

Heparanase 1 is associated with tumor metastasis and inflammation. Its ability to degrade the extracellular matrix enables cancer cell invasion and metastasis. The enzyme also plays a role in inflammatory diseases where it modulates the immune response. Through these disease pathways it relates to other proteins such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which also participate in matrix remodeling during tumor progression and inflammation.
