Glypican-3 or GTR2-2 is the protein product of the gene GPC3. It is a cell surface heparin sulfate containing glycoprotein that plays an important role in the modulation of growth and development of mesodermal tissues and organs, as well as various cancers. Among its many known functions, it is a regulator of the dipeptidyl peptidase DPP4 (CD26). DPP4 plays an important role in glucose metabolism via its action on incretin and GLP-1 hormones. DPP4 also is a cancer marker and thought to function as a cancer suppressor. Thus acting as a regulator of DPP4, Glypican-3 (GPC3) participates in everything from glucose and blood sugar regulation to tumor growth. Glypican-3 (GPC3) is most highly expressed in the lung, liver and kidney, and typically a secreted form, secreted glypican-3, is found in the extracellular space generated as a cleavage product by the action of a convertase. Defects in GPC3 cause Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 1 (SGBS1) or Simpson dysmorphia syndrome (SDYS). This is a condition characterized by pre-and postnatal overgrowth (gigantism) with visceral and skeletal anomalies. EMD-Millipore’s anti-GPC3 mouse monoclonal antibody, clone 9C2, has been tested in western blot against recombinant human protein, human HepG2, HEK293, Jurkat, and SK-N-SH cell line lysates, as well as rat PC-12 and mouse liver cell lysates. In addition, the clone as been successfully used in paraffin-embedded immunohistochemistry on human liver and breast cancer tissues and in immunofluorescent immunocytochemistry on human HeLa cells in culture. Finally, the clone has been tested successfully on human cells by flow cytometry and against the recombinant antigen by ELISA.

Purified recombinant fragment of human GPC3 expressed in E. Coli.
