This protein is expressed primarily in cartilage, ligament, and tendon, and binds to other ECM proteins such as collagen I, II and IX with high affinities depending on the divalent cations Zn2+ or Ni2+. COMP is a secreted glycoprotein that is important for growth plate organization and function. It is suggested to play a role in cell growth and development, and recent studies have revealed the possible mechanism that it protects cells against death by elevating members of the IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis protein) family of survival proteins. Mutations in COMP cause two skeletal dysplasias, pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (EDM1), and up-regulated expression of COMP are observed in rheumatoid arthritis and certain carcinomas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActivity: Measured by its ability to induce adhesion of ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cells. When cells are added to coated plates (5 μg\/ml, 100 μl\/well), approximately 40% will adhere specifically after 60 minutes at 37 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSequence: Met 1-Ala 757\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePurity: \u0026gt; 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4\u003cbr\u003e\nNormally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReconstitution: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEndotoxin: \u0026lt; 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalculated MW: 82.4 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eObserved MW: 120-130 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80℃.
