Mouse Anti-Porcine Decorin Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine decorin, a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family, is a highly conserved extracellular matrix protein found in various tissues, including skin, tendon, bone, and cartilage. Decorin plays a crucial role in tissue homeostasis, particularly in the regulation of collagen fibrillogenesis, where it influences collagen fiber assembly and organization, thereby affecting tissue integrity and mechanical properties. As a molecular target, Decorin is significant due to its involvement in various biological processes such as cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. It has been implicated in wound healing, tissue repair, and the pathogenesis of fibrosis and certain degenerative diseases. Given its role in modulating collagen, Decorin is a potential therapeutic target for conditions characterized by abnormal extracellular matrix remodeling.
