Product Specs

Introduction
HEPACAM2 plays a crucial role in centrosome maturation during prometaphase. After being PARsylated by TNKS, HEPACAM2 moves from the Golgi apparatus to mitotic centrosomes, where it contributes to the formation of robust microtubules. These microtubules are essential for the rapid movement of chromosomes.
Description
Recombinant human HEPACAM2, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 343 amino acids (residues 32-351), with a molecular weight of 37.9 kDa. The protein includes a 23 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear and colorless solution, sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The HEPACAM2 solution is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.4 M Urea, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For longer storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

HEPACAM2 is required during prometaphase for centrosome maturation. Following poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARsylation) by TNKS, this protein translocates from the Golgi apparatus to mitotic centrosomes. It plays a key role in the formation of robust microtubules, which are essential for the prompt movement of chromosomes during cell division .

Clinical Significance

HEPACAM2 has been found to be highly and specifically expressed in SCLC. Its levels are inversely correlated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with SCLC. This makes HEPACAM2 a potential diagnostic cell surface biomarker for early detection of SCLC .

Recombinant HEPACAM2

Recombinant human HEPACAM2 protein is often used in research to study its function and role in various diseases. The recombinant protein is typically produced in E. coli and is fused to a His-tag at the N-terminus. This allows for easy purification and detection in experimental settings .

Applications in Research

The recombinant HEPACAM2 protein is used in various applications, including:

  • Immunofluorescence Microscopy: To assess the cellular location of HEPACAM2.
  • In Vitro and In Vivo Studies: To understand its expression and functional significance.
  • RNA Sequencing: To investigate HEPACAM2 expression in patients with SCLC and evaluate its relationship to PFS and OS .
Potential for Future Research

Given its remarkable specificity, high expression, presence in early disease, and extracellular secretion, HEPACAM2 holds promise as a diagnostic marker for early SCLC detection. Further investigation into its role in the pathobiology of SCLC could lead to new therapeutic strategies and improved patient outcomes .
