Product details:
Human HSPG ELISA kit (ab274393) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human HSPG protein in human serum and plasma. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human HSPG with 47.215 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 (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
HSPG2 functions as an integral component of basement membranes. In the glomerular basement membrane, it provides a barrier that is both size- and charge-selective. HSPG2 serves as an attachment substrate for cells and plays essential roles in vascularization. It is critical for normal heart development and for regulating the vascular response to injury. HSPG2 in an anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor peptide that inhibits blood vessel growth in the chorioallantoic membrane. It blocks endothelial cell adhesion to fibronectin and type I collagen. Interaction with its ligand, integrin alpha2/beta1, is required for the anti-angiogenic properties.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan 2 also known as Perlecan is a large multidomain proteoglycan with a mass of over 500 kDa. It contains heparan sulfate chains that contribute to its role in the extracellular matrix. Perlecan is expressed in various tissues including cartilage basement membranes and vascular tissues. It interacts with other matrix proteins providing structural integrity and influencing cell behavior.
Biological function summary
Perlecan plays a critical role in cell adhesion proliferation and growth factor signaling. It is an important component of basement membranes and forms a structural complex with other matrix proteins. Its interaction with heparan sulfate chains enables binding with various ligands such as growth factors and cytokines optimizing their availability and functionality at the cell surface. This interaction is essential in tissue maintenance and repair processes.
Pathways
Perlecan participates in the regulation of the Wnt and Hedgehog signaling pathways. These pathways influence key developmental processes and dictate cellular differentiation and migration. Perlecan and its heparan sulfate chains modulate protein interactions within these pathways notably affecting proteins such as Dsh and Ctnnb1 which are essential in signal transduction.
Perlecan involvement has been linked with tumorigenesis and cardiovascular diseases. Aberrations in its structure or expression can alter cellular microenvironments impacting key processes like angiogenesis and metastasis. Furthermore its interaction with growth factors can facilitate the progression of diseases like cancer highlighting its connection with proteins such as VEGF and TGF-beta which play major roles in disease modulation.
