A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for EPCR has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards (Expression system for standard: NSO; Immunogen sequence: S18-S210) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for EPCR is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human EPCR amount of sample captured in plate.\u003cbr\u003e\nEndothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) also known as CCCA or PROCR is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PROCR gene. PRPCR gene is mapped to 20q11.2 by radiation hybrid analysis and FISH. The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for activated protein C, a serine protease activated by and involved in the blood coagulation pathway. The encoded protein is an N glycosylated type I membrane protein that enhances the activation of protein C. Mutations in this gene have been associated with venous thromboembolism and myocardial infarction, as well as with late fetal loss during pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Storage information--20°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nEPCR also known as CD201 stands for Endothelial Protein C Receptor. It is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 46 kDa. EPCR is expressed mainly on endothelial cells which line the interior surface of blood vessels. This receptor plays a mechanical role in binding to protein C a zymogen that is converted to activated protein C (APC) by thrombin-thrombomodulin complex. By facilitating the activation of protein C EPCR contributes to the regulation of blood coagulation and inflammation processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe EPCR is part of the protein C anticoagulant pathway where it acts as a cofactor. EPCR is vital in enhancing the activation of protein C on the endothelial surface reducing coagulation activity. It interacts closely with thrombomodulin and protein C to form this complex preventing excessive thrombus formation and contributing to vascular integrity. Apart from its anticoagulant role EPCR also modulates inflammatory responses supporting its function as a bridge between coagulation and inflammation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nEPCR lies within the protein C anticoagulation pathway and the endothelial signaling pathways. Its primary partner in the anticoagulation pathway is APC which degrades activated factors Va and VIIIa providing a check against coagulation. Additionally EPCR’s interaction with APC and thrombomodulin links this protein to the endothelial signaling pathway where it affects cell survival and inflammation regulation. This interaction is essential to maintain hemostatic balance and control vascular responses to inflammatory stimuli.\u003cbr\u003e\nEPCR associates with conditions like thrombosis and sepsis. In thrombosis inadequate expression or function of EPCR can lead to uncontrolled blood clotting due to insufficient activation of protein C. Sepsis a severe inflammatory response to infection shows abnormal modulation of the protein C pathway where EPCR's role becomes pivotal. Additionally APC which interacts directly with EPCR is critical in the pathological states of these diseases highlighting the therapeutic potential in targeting EPCR pathway.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843770405033,"sku":"ab213774","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab213774","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
