Sample Types: serum, plasma, cell culture supernates Detection Range: 3.12 ng/mL-200 ng/mL Sensitivity: 0.78 ng/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: Cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate. Negatively regulates the hedgehog signaling pathway when attached via the GPI-anchor to the cell surface by competing with the hedgehog receptor PTC1 for binding to hedgehog proteins (PubMed:18477453, PubMed:23665349). Binding to the hedgehog protein SHH triggers internalization of the complex by endocytosis and its subsequent lysosomal degradation (PubMed:18477453). Positively regulates the canonical Wnt signaling pathway by binding to the Wnt receptor Frizzled and stimulating the binding of the Frizzled receptor to Wnt ligands. Positively regulates the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway (PubMed:15537637). Binds to CD81 which decreases the availability of free CD81 for binding to the transcriptional repressor HHEX, resulting in nuclear translocation of HHEX and transcriptional repression (PubMed:23665349). Inhibits the dipeptidyl peptidase activity of DPP4. Plays a role in limb patterning and skeletal development by controlling the cellular response to BMP4 (PubMed:10964473). Modulates the effects of growth factors BMP2, BMP7 and FGF7 on renal branching morphogenesis (PubMed:11180950). Required for coronary vascular development (PubMed:19733558). Plays a role in regulating cell movements during gastrulation. [The UniProt Consortium]
