Endostatin, human recombinant

Endostatin, human recombinant is available at Gentaur for Next week delivery.

An anti-angiogenic agent

Biomolecule/Target:

Alternates names: Collagen alpha-1(XVIII) chain

Synonyms: none

Background Information: Endostatin has been identified as a C-terminal fragment of Collagen type 18, a recently identified member of a family of collagen-like proteins referred to as multiplexin family Endostatin specifically inhibits proliferation of endothelial cells although it does not affect the proliferation of EOMA cells. Endostatin also potently inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth. Endostatin has an important role in endothelial cell adhesion and cytoskeletal organization. Endostatin can be found in vessel walls (elastic fibers) and basement membranes. Recombinant Endosatin expressed in yeast causes G1 arrest of endothelial cells, and endostatin treatment results in apoptosis of HUVE and HMVE cells. DESCRIPTION: Recombinant Human Endostatin produced in Pichia Pastoris is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide having a total molecular mass of 20,000 Dalton C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII that has been shown to act as a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc (SH2 domain adapter protein) leading to specific inhibition in endothelial cell proliferation.
