General description
Aggrecan is also known as aggregating chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan. Aggrecan is the major proteoglycan present in articular cartilage, composing up to 10% of its dry weight. It is responsible for endowing articular with its intrinsic properties of load bearing and compressive forces.
Specificity
Mouse anti-aggrecan is a cleavage-site-specific monoclonal antibody for detecting metalloproteinase-derived aggrecan fragments. The antibody recognizes neo-epitopes on polypeptides with N-terminal FFGVG sequences. This sequence is found at the N-terminus of aggrecan fragments that have been digested with MMPs. By immunoblotting, AF-28 specifically detected G2 fragments derived from an aggrecan G1-G2 substrate digested with stromelysin, collagenase, gelatinase, and matrilysin, but failed to detect G2 fragments obtained from elastase, trypsin, or cathepsin B digests. Undigested G1-G2 was not detected. Competition experiments confirmed that peptides containing internal FFGVG sequences were not detected by the antibody. Clone AF-28 specifically recognizes a neo-epitope on polypeptides with N-terminal FFGVG Sequences. This sequence is found at the N-terminus of aggrecan fragments that have been digested with matrix metalloproteinases.

Articular cartilage matrix synthesis and degradation are dynamic processes that must be balanced for proper maintenance of the tissue. In osteoarthritis (OA), this balance is skewed toward degradation and ultimate loss of matrix. The transcriptional and/or activity levels of hundreds
