HRG Antibody

This histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) contains two cystatin-like domains and is located in plasma and platelets. The physiological function has not been determined but it is known that the protein binds heme, dyes and divalent metal ions. It can inhibit rosette formation and interacts with heparin, thrombospondin and plasminogen. Two of the protein's effects, the inhibition of fibrinolysis and the reduction of inhibition of coagulation, indicate a potential prothrombotic effect. Mutations in this gene lead to thrombophilia due to abnormal histidine-rich glycoprotein levels.This histidine-rich glycoprotein contains two cystatin-like domains and is located in plasma and platelets.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store HRG antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

HRG antibody can be used for detection of HRG by ELISA at 1:312500. HRG antibody can be used for detection of HRG by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
