BG,DSPG1,PG-S1,PGI,SLRR1A

Catalog Number P50766-M02H
Organism Species Mouse
Host Human Cells
Synonyms BG,DSPG1,PG-S1,PGI,SLRR1A
Molecular Weight The recombinant mouse BGN /Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 591 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 66.5 KDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 67 KDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N Glu 20

Background Biglycan, also known as PG-S1 and BGN, is a a small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan (SLRP). It can be detected in a variety of extracellular matrix tissues, including bone, cartilage and tendon. Biglycan consists of a protein core containing leucine-rich repeat regions and two glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains consisting of either chondroitin sulfate (CS) or dermatan sulfate (DS). Non-glycanated forms of biglycan (no GAG chains) increase with age in human articular cartilage. Biglycan interacts with collagen, both via the core protein and GAG chains. Biglycan plays a role in the mineralisation of bone. Biglycan core protein binds to the growth factors BMP-4 and influences its bioactivity.
