Alternate Names
chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4; chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (melanoma-associated); chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan NG2; HMW-MAA; MCSP; MCSPG; melanoma chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan; melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan; MEL-CSPG; MSK16; NG2
Description (eCommerce)
Melanoma chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (MCSP) is a cell-surface antigen expressed early in melanoma progression. It has been found to be involved in the spreading, invasion, and migration of human melanoma. MCSP influences melanoma behavior via the activation of the Cdc42 GTPase and phosphorylation of p130Cas. MCSP also activates signaling cascades involving FAK and ERK1/ERK2. In addition to its expression in melanoma cells, MCSP is also found in breast carcinomas, gliomas, neuroblastomas, and acute leukemias. MCSP is being considered as a target antigen for cancer immunotherapy.
Description (Vector)
A human melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan plays a role in stabilizing cell-substratum interactions during early events of melanoma cell spreading on endothelial basement membranes. CSPG4 represents an integral membrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan expressed by human malignant melanoma cells.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
