Product details

ab318295 is a BSA and Azide free antibody supplied in an unconjugated format and it is suitable for sandwich ELISAs to quantify Aggrecan. The recommended pair for sandwich ELISA is:

Capture: ab318295, Aggrecan Capture Antibody (unconjugated)

Detector: ab318296, Aggrecan Detector Antibody (unconjugated)

The reference range value is 7.81-2000 pg/mL.

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Our carrier-free formats are supplied in a buffer free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Supplementary information

Aggrecan also known as aggrecan core protein or chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 1 is a large proteoglycan vital for cartilage structure and function. It has a mass of approximately 250 kDa. Aggrecan is expressed mostly in cartilage regions such as articular cartilage but it might also be found in other connective tissues. The structure of aggrecan consists of a core protein that attaches to glycosaminoglycan chains allowing it to create hydrated gel structures essential for the resilience and load-bearing properties of cartilage.

Biological function summary

Aggrecan plays a significant role in maintaining the structural integrity of cartilage by providing resistance to compression. This proteoglycan is a central component of the extracellular matrix forming large aggregates with hyaluronic acid and link proteins. These aggregates contribute to the cartilage's osmotic properties helping resist compression during joint movement. Aggrecan's structural properties make it necessary for normal joint function and health.

Pathways

Aggrecan interacts within the cartilage development and maintenance frameworks. Specifically it participates in the regulation of the ECM-receptor interaction pathway and the proteoglycans in cancer pathway. Aggrecan functions alongside proteins such as type II collagen to ensure biomechanical properties of the cartilage. Additionally its enzymatic breakdown by aggrecanases like ADAMTS can impact these pathways leading to various physiological effects.

Aggrecan is closely associated with osteoarthritis and intervertebral disc degeneration. In osteoarthritis the loss of aggrecan through enzymatic degradation leads to reduced joint function and increased pain. The breakdown involves aggrecanases and other matrix metalloproteinases resulting in cartilage degradation. Diseases such as intervertebral disc degeneration also link to the reduced presence or altered structure of aggrecan impacting spine health and mobility.
