		Technical Data
T5100-06Q	Thrombospondin (THBS, TSP, Thrombospondin 1, THBS1, THBS-1, Tsp1, Tsp-1)

Description:
Thrombospondin-1 is a 450kD trimeric glycoprotein first described in 1971. The molecule is stored in high concentrations in the alpha granules of platelets, constitutes 25% of platelet-secreted protein, and participates in platelet aggregation and clot formation. It is one of a class of adhesive glycoproteins that mediate cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. Numerous biological activities have been ascribed to TSP-1, including effects on cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. It also plays both complex and controversial role in tumor progression.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 1:25-1:50
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
