Name :
Recombinant Human COMP Protein (His Tag)
Biological Activity :
Background :
Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP), also referred to as Thrombospondin-5, is a non-collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) protein and belongs to the subgroup B of the thrombospondin protein family. 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.
Biological Activity :
Measured by its ability to induce adhesion of ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cells.When cells are added to COMP-coated plates (0.625 μg/mL and 100 μL/well), approximately >30% cells will adhere specifically after 60 minutes at 37℃.

Amino Acid Sequence :
Molecular Weight :
The mature form of human COMP consists of 748 amino acids after removal of the signal peptide and predicts a molecular mass of 82.4 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rhCOMP is approximately 120-130 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
Purity :
> 80 % as determined by SDS-PAGE

Product Concentration :
Storage and Stability :
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Endotoxin Level :
< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method
Protein Construction :
A DNA sequence encoding the human COMP (NP_000086.2) precusor (Met 1-Ala 757) was expressed with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag.
Buffer Solution :
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % – 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet.
Shipping :
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
Redissolution :
A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
