A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of DCN antibody, Alternative Names: Decorin control peptide, Decorin antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-Decorin Blocking Peptide, CSCD Blocking Peptide, DSPG2 Blocking Peptide, PG40 Blocking Peptide, PGII Blocking Peptide, PGS2 Blocking Peptide, SLRR1B Blocking Peptide, DCN Blocking Peptide
DCN is a small cellular or pericellular matrix proteoglycan that is closely related in structure to biglycan protein. DCN and biglycan are thought to be the result of a gene duplication. This protein is a component of connective tissue, binds to type I collagen fibrils, and plays a role in matrix assembly. It contains one attached glycosaminoglycan chain. This protein is capable of suppressing the growth of various tumor cell lines. There are multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants known for this gene. This gene is a candidate gene for Marfan syndrome.
