Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human heparanase-2 (HPSE2) concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a heparanase enzyme. The encoded protein is a endoglycosidase that degrades heparin sulfate proteoglycans located on the extracellular matrix and cell surface. This protein may be involved in biological processes involving remodeling of the extracellular matrix including angiogenesis and tumor progression. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
