COCO, also known as DAND5, Dante, and CKTSF1B3, is a member of the DAN Domain family of BMP antagonists that includes DAN, Gremlin, PRDC, and Cerberus. COCO binds and inhibits Xnr1, BMP-4, Activin, and Wnt8. It is implicated in gastrulation and embryonic left-right axis formation. Human COCO shares 60% and 24% aa sequence identity with mouse and Xenopus COCO, respectively.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 2-8ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Hybridoma:
Mouse myeloma cells with B cells obtained from a mouse immunized with purified, E.coli- derived, recombinant human DAND5 (aa23-189).
Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C for short-term only. Reconstitute with sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
