General description
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) can be divided into general categories of
cell-associated forms, including syndecans, glypicans, and secreted extracellular matrix forms, such as perlecan. Glypicans contain six family members to date and are proteins bound to the outer surface of the plasma membrane by a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor and involved in cellular adhesion and migration and function as accessory molecules for signaling receptors, (Filmus, 2008 & Gui, 2006). Current publications indicate the main function of membrane-attached glypicans is to regulate the signaling of Wnts, Hedgehogs, fibroblast growth factors and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), (Filmus, 2008).
Glypican-1 (GPC1) is over-expressed in human gliomas and appears to have a greater capability of promoting FGF-2 signaling in some gliomas versus HSPGs in normal astrocytes. Additional observations suggest that GPC1 can impact the growth of pancreatic cancer cells by attenuating tumor angiogenesis, (Whipple, 2008).
Specificity
MAB2600 recognizes glypican-1.

Epitope: Full Length
Full length recombinant protein.
Application
Anti-Glypican-1 Antibody, clone 4D1 detects level of Glypican-1 & has been published & validated for use in IH(P) & WB.
Immunohistochemistry:
A 1:50 dilution of a previous lot detected strong cytoplasmic staining of tumor cells in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded gangliobastoma tissue sample. There was negative staining of normal, uninvolved cells.
