Anti-Cartilage Intermediate-Layer Protein 1 (NT) (CILP-1, CILP, Nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolase, HGN

The CILP-1 (cartilage intermediate-layer protein 1) gene product is a 138kD monomeric glycoprotein that is found in both hyaline and fibrocartilage. It is a precursor for two secreted, proteolytically generated products, a 90kD N-terminal CILP-1, and a 62kD C-terminal NTPPHase-homolog. The N-terminus is suggested to serve as both a matrix structural protein, and an IGF-I/TGF-beta1 suppressor sequestration molecule. Human CILP-1 spans aa22-720 of the CILP-1 precursor. It contains one TSP-1 domain (aa149-201) and a C2-type Ig-like region (aa309-395). Over aa1-720 of the CILP-1 precursor, human CILP-1 shares 89% aa identity with mouse CILP-1, and 42% aa identity with human CILP-2. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 0.1-0.2ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O, 0.1% BSA, aliquot and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
