Decorin antibody detects decorin, a small leucine-rich proteoglycan encoded by the DCN gene. Decorin is a key component of the extracellular matrix where it regulates collagen fibrillogenesis, modulates growth factor activity, and contributes to tissue organization. Its diverse roles extend across connective tissue biology, fibrosis, and cancer research, making Decorin antibody a versatile tool in biomedical science.
Decorin consists of a core protein with leucine-rich repeats and a single glycosaminoglycan chain, typically dermatan sulfate or chondroitin sulfate. By binding collagen fibrils, decorin regulates their diameter and spacing, ensuring the structural integrity of tissues such as skin, tendon, and cornea. In addition, decorin interacts with growth factors including TGF-beta, EGF receptor ligands, and IGF, modulating their activity and influencing cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration. These functions highlight its dual role as a structural and signaling regulator.
The Decorin antibody clone DCN/3521 provides reliable detection of this proteoglycan. Clone DCN/3521 has been used in peer-reviewed studies exploring extracellular matrix remodeling, fibrotic disease mechanisms, and tumor biology. Its specificity makes it suitable for studying both normal connective tissue organization and pathological remodeling. Consistency of performance allows researchers to confidently track decorin expression across diverse model systems.
Research using clone DCN/3521 has clarified how decorin acts as a natural antagonist of TGF-beta, limiting fibrosis and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. In cancer, decorin has been shown to modulate receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, where its presence can inhibit tumor progression by interfering with growth factor pathways. Beyond pathology, decorin is essential in corneal transparency and tendon resilience, making it relevant for musculoskeletal and ophthalmologic studies. Detection with this antibody provides insight into both tissue homeostasis and disease development.
NSJ Bioreagents supplies this Decorin antibody to support extracellular matrix biology, fibrosis research, and cancer investigations. Alternate terms include DCN antibody, dermatan sulfate proteoglycan antibody, small leucine-rich proteoglycan antibody, SLRP family protein antibody, and collagen binding proteoglycan antibody.
Optimal dilution of the Decorin antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant human Decorin partial protein (within amino acids 212-336) was used as the immunogen for the Decorin antibody.
Aliquot the Decorin antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
