Keratan Sulfate

• NCBI Gene ID:

  8534

• Reactivity:

  Human

• Storage Conditions:

  Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 °C. Stable for 12 months at -20 °C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 °C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

• Specificity:

  Recognizes human Keratan-Sulfate. Preliminary results, based on western Blot of keratan sulfate from different sources, indicate specificity for keratan sulfate from articular cartilage. Minimal if any crossreactivity with keratan sulfate from intervertebral disc. This is in contrast to the epitope recognized by K0197, which recognizes a widely distributed keratan sulfate epitope. Well suited for detecting keratan sulfate fragments released during human inflammatory or degenerative joint diseases into synovial fluid and serum.
