Anti-Matrilin-4/MATN4 Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of von Willebrand factor A domain-containing protein family. The proteins of this family are thought to be involved in the formation of filamentous networks in the extracellular matrices of various tissues. This family member is thought to be play a role in reorganizing and regenerating the corneal matrix in granular and lattice type I dystrophies. It may also be involved in wound healing in the dentin-pulp complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

E.coli-derived human Matrilin-4/MATN4 recombinant protein (Position: E191-Q590) . Human Matrilin-4/MATN4 shares 90% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse Matrilin-4/MATN4.
