Decorin Antibody detects Decorin, a secreted extracellular matrix proteoglycan encoded by the DCN gene and widely expressed in connective tissues. Clone DCN/6289 is a mouse monoclonal antibody developed for research applications investigating stromal biology, collagen organization, and extracellular matrix remodeling.
Decorin antibody, also referred to as DCN antibody and small leucine-rich proteoglycan decorin antibody in the literature, recognizes a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family characterized by tandem leucine-rich repeat domains and a single dermatan sulfate or chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan chain. Decorin binds to fibrillar collagens, particularly type I collagen, regulating collagen fibrillogenesis, fiber diameter, and matrix spacing. Through these structural interactions, Decorin contributes to tissue tensile strength and extracellular matrix integrity.
In addition to its structural role, Decorin interacts with growth factors and receptor tyrosine kinases, including transforming growth factor beta and epidermal growth factor receptor pathways, thereby influencing cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. DCN expression is prominent in skin, tendon, ligament, cornea, skeletal muscle connective tissue, and organ stroma. In tissue-based studies, Decorin typically demonstrates extracellular stromal staining localized between collagen bundles and within connective tissue matrices.
Altered Decorin expression has been associated with fibrosis, impaired wound healing, and tumor progression, where extracellular matrix composition modulates cellular behavior and microenvironmental signaling. Decorin may function as a regulator of tumor growth by modulating growth factor availability and receptor activation. A Decorin Antibody such as clone DCN/6289 supports investigations into connective tissue development, fibrotic disease, tumor stroma composition, and extracellular matrix biology. This antibody targets Decorin in research applications and is available from NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the Decorin antibody should be determined by the researcher.
For immunostaining, pre-incubation with chondroitinase-SBC or testicular hyaluronidase may be required to expose the epitope.
Recombinant full-length protein 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.
