Monoclonal Anti-HPC4 antibody

Protein C, also known as autoprothrombin IIA and blood coagulation factor XIV, is a zymogenic (inactive) protein, the activated form of which plays an important role in regulating blood clotting, inflammation, cell death, and maintaining the permeability of blood vessel walls in humans and other animals. The zymogenic form of protein C is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein that circulates in blood plasma. Its structure is that of a two-chain polypeptide consisting of a light chain and a heavy chain connected by a disulfide bond. Protein C Tag (HPC4) is a 12 amino acid sequence EDQVDPRLIDGK, which encodes residues 6 through 17 of the heavy chain of the protein.Protein C Tag Antibody is a useful tool in analysis of Protein C fusion proteins.
