Syndecan-1 (UniProt: P18827; also known as SYND1, CD138) is encoded by the SDC1 (also known as SDC) gene (Gene ID: 6382) in human. Syndecans are transmembrane proteoglycans (PGs) composed of a core protein to which growth factor binding glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains are attached. Four members of the Syndecan family have been studied and they include syndecan-1 that is mainly expressed in epithelial cells, syndecan-2 (fibroglycan, SDC2) is present on cells of mesenchymal origin, syndecan-3 (N-syndecan, SDC3) is found in neural tissue and cartilage, and syndecan-4 (amphiglycan, ryudocan, SDC4) is ubiquitously expressed. Syndecans are usually present on the cell surface, but they can also be released by the action of sheddases or accumulate in the cell nucleus and may also be present in body fluids. Syndecan-1/CD138 is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is produced with a signal peptide (aa 1-22), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 23-254), a transmembrane domain (aa 255-275), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 276-310). It is a cell surface proteoglycan that bears both heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate and that links the cytoskeleton to the interstitial matrix. It plays a role in cell adhesion, motility, invasion, and intracellular signaling. Syndecan-1 is reported to perform these diverse functions by acting as a co-receptor for a variety of growth factor receptors or as a binding partner to integrins. Its shedding from cell surface is regulated by various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), including MMP-7, MMP-9, membrane-bound metalloproteinases (MT-MMP1), and by ADAM10 and ADAM17. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 14 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human CD138/Syndecan-1.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
