This antibody binds to the coiled-coil domain or pentamer COMP. It cross-reacts with mouse, rat and human.
Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) is a disulfide-linked pentameric proteoglycan primarily found in cartilage, but also present in other joint tissues such as meniscus, tendon, synovial fibroblasts, and osteoblasts. As a member of the thrombospondin family, COMP
stimulates type II collagen fibril formation. It is released into the blood when cartilage is damaged, making it a valuable biomarker for predicting cartilage destruction in inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA).
Synonyms:
Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein, COMP
16B5 binds to COMP (hCOMP, recombinant human COMP) but not to denatured COMP. Binding was determined in bead-based flow immunoassay as median fluorescence intensity (MFI). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as the negative control.
