Decorin Antibody Recombinant Rabbit MAb detects Decorin, a small leucine-rich extracellular matrix proteoglycan encoded by the DCN gene and widely expressed in connective tissues. Clone DCN/8715R is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody developed for consistent research performance and supports evaluation of stromal architecture and collagen-associated matrix organization in tissue specimens.
Decorin antibody, also referred to as DCN antibody and small leucine-rich proteoglycan decorin antibody in the literature, recognizes a secreted proteoglycan 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 interfibrillar spacing. Through these structural interactions, Decorin contributes to tissue tensile strength and extracellular matrix stability.
Beyond its structural role, Decorin modulates cell signaling pathways by interacting with growth factors and receptor tyrosine kinases, including transforming growth factor beta and epidermal growth factor receptor. These interactions influence cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, positioning Decorin as both a matrix scaffold and a regulatory molecule. DCN expression is prominent in skin, tendon, ligament, cornea, placental stroma, and prostatic connective tissue. In tissue-based analyses, Decorin typically demonstrates extracellular stromal staining localized between collagen bundles and within connective tissue frameworks.
Altered Decorin expression has been implicated in fibrotic disease, impaired wound healing, and tumor progression, where extracellular matrix composition shapes microenvironmental signaling. Changes in Decorin distribution may accompany desmoplastic reactions or altered collagen organization in malignancy. A Decorin Antibody Recombinant Rabbit MAb such as clone DCN/8715R supports investigations into extracellular matrix biology, fibrosis research, stromal-tumor interactions, and connective tissue development. This antibody targets Decorin in research applications and is available from NSJ Bioreagents.
1. Optimal dilution of the Decorin antibody should be determined by the researcher.
2. For immunostaining, pre-incubation with chondroitinase-SBC or testicular hyaluronidase may be required to expose the epitope.
A recombinant human Decorin protein fragment (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.
