Product Specs

Introduction
CSAG1 (Chondrosarcoma Associated Gene 1) is a tumor antigen found in chondrosarcomas. It may also be present in healthy tissues like the testis.
Description
Recombinant human CSAG1, produced in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 82 amino acids (20-78). It has a molecular weight of 9.1 kDa. The protein includes a 23 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The CSAG1 solution (0.25 mg/ml) is supplied in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.15 M NaCl, 10% glycerol, and 1 mM DTT.

Product Science Overview

Expression and Function

CSAG1 is highly expressed in chondrosarcomas, a type of cancer that forms in cartilage cells, as well as in other cancers and certain normal tissues like the testis and brain . The protein encoded by this gene may play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the centrosome during mitosis, which is essential for proper cell division .

Alternative Splicing

The CSAG1 gene undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in two transcript variants that encode the same protein . This process allows for the generation of multiple protein isoforms from a single gene, contributing to the complexity of gene regulation and protein function.

Clinical Significance

The expression of CSAG1 in chondrosarcomas and other cancers makes it a potential biomarker for these diseases . Biomarkers are molecules that can be used to detect or monitor a disease, and they are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. In the case of chondrosarcoma, which is a cartilage-forming malignancy, accurate diagnostic markers are essential due to the tumor’s resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy .

Research and Therapeutic Potential

Research into CSAG1 and its role in cancer biology is ongoing. Understanding the function and regulation of this gene could lead to the development of new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for chondrosarcoma and other cancers. For instance, targeting the pathways involved in centrosome integrity during mitosis could provide new avenues for cancer treatment .
