Application

Aggrecan is a critical component for cartilage structure and the function of joints. Its synthesis and degradation are being studied for their roles in cartilage deterioration during joint injury disease and aging.

Biochem/physiol Actions

This molecule produces a rigid, reversibly deformable gel that resists compression. It combines with hyaluronic acid to form very large macromolecular complexes that have an increased hydrohynamic volume and a significant increase (30-40%) in the relative viscosity of the solution.

Disclaimer

Store this product at -20°C. Stored as supplied, this powder shows little decomposition in 3 years when stored properly.

Other Notes

Aggrecan is a major structural proteoglycan of the cartilage extracellular matrix. It is a large proteoglycan, with a molecular weight greater than 2,500 kDa composed of approximately 100-150 glycosaminoglycan chains attached to a core protein. The majority of these glycosaminoglycan chains are chondroitin/dermatan sulfate. Aggrecan contains three globular domains, G1, G2, and G3, which are involved in aggregation and hylauronan binding, cell adhesion and chondrycte apoptosis.

Preparation Note

This product is extracted from articular cartilage, chematographically purified, dialyzed against water, and 0.2 μm filtered prior to lyophilization. Once lyophilized, this powder is essentially salt-free. The product is soluble in water at 2 mg/mL.

A major feature of cartilage deterioration during joint injury and disease is aggrecan degradation and the loss of proteoglycan. Most of the degraded fragments are released into the circulatory system except the G1 domain which accumulates locally in the synovial

Aggrecan, the large aggregating proteoglycan from cartilage contains chondroitin sulphate and keratan sulphate attached to a multidomain protein core. It aggregates by binding to hyaluronan and this is further stabilised by a separate globular link protein. There are two structurally

The breakdown of aggrecan in cartilage is, in part, mediated by an enzyme named aggrecanase that cleaves within the interglobular domain of the molecule between a glutamic residue and an alanine residue. Although the enzyme cleavage site has been identified

The proteoglycan aggrecan is a major component of cartilage, and degradation of aggrecan is associated with aging and a number of pathological conditions. To investigate the effects of the accumulation of G1 domain from degraded aggrecan, we overexpressed the G1
