General description

Brevican core protein (BCAN), also known as Brain-enriched hyaluronan-binding protein (BEHAB) or Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 7 (CSPG7), may play a role in the terminally differentiating and the adult nervous system during postnatal development. It may stabilize interactions between hyaluronan (HA) and brain proteoglycans. Two isoforms exist, with isoform 1 (~99 kDa) being highly expressed from birth through 8 years of age and down-regulated by 20 years of age to low levels that are maintained in the normal adult cortex; and isoform 2 (~72 kDa) being expressed at uniformly low levels throughout development.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to rat Brevican.

Target description

~140 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 96 kDa A second isoform is known to exist at 69 kDa This protein may be observed at a higher molecular weight due to glycosylation. A proteolyticaly cleaved fragment of Brevican may be observed at ~50 kDa in some tissue lysates.
