Proteoglycan 4 Antibodies

AND PRG4 ELISA kits, Proteoglycan 4 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Proteoglycan 4, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Proteoglycan 4 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Proteoglycan 4 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Proteoglycan 4 by testing them on tissues known to express PRG4 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the PRG4 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 0 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

PRG4 Overview

Facts about Proteoglycan 4.

PRG4 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4)

Plays a role in boundary lubrication within articulating joints. Prevents protein residue onto cartilage from synovial fluid by controlling adhesion-dependent synovial growth and inhibiting the adhesion of synovial cells into the cartilage surface.
