Background: A human melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan plays a role in stabilizing cell-substratum interactions during early events of melanoma cell spreading on endothelial basement membranes. CSPG4 represents an integral membrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan expressed by human malignant melanoma cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Description: Recombinant human CSPG4(1538-2221) Protein with C-terminal human Fc tag
Molecular Weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 98.9 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of CSPG4(1538-2221)-hFc is approximately 100-250 kDa due to glycosylation.
Storage & Shipping: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
