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

 

Monoclonal Antibody to COMP (Clone 16B5) Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein, Affinity Purified

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.
