Description

Glypican-3 is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan anchored to the cell surface that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth and differentiation during development. In adult tissues, GPC3 expression is typically silenced, but it becomes aberrantly reactivated in hepatocellular carcinoma, making it a valuable biomarker for liver cancer research and a promising therapeutic target. The protein also holds significance in stem cell biology, where it influences signaling pathways that govern cell fate decisions.

This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 4H11, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined genetic sequences rather than hybridoma supernatants, you can expect uniform performance across experiments and over time, eliminating the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations.

The antibody has been validated for Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and ELISA, giving you flexibility across different experimental workflows. In Western blot analysis, it successfully detects GPC3 in 293 and K562 whole cell lysates at working dilutions between 1:500 and 1:5000, producing a clear band at the expected 66 kDa molecular weight. For immunofluorescence applications, the antibody has been validated in HepG2 cells at dilutions from 1:20 to 1:200, demonstrating reliable performance in this hepatocellular carcinoma model that naturally expresses GPC3.

Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer optimized for long-term stability, this antibody is well-suited for researchers investigating hepatocellular carcinoma biology, developmental signaling pathways, or stem cell regulation where consistent, sequence-defined detection of human GPC3 is essential.

Target Background

Function

Cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate. Negatively regulates the hedgehog signaling pathway when attached via the GPI-anchor to the cell surface by competing with the hedgehog receptor PTC1 for binding to hedgehog proteins. Binding to the hedgehog protein SHH triggers internalization of the complex by endocytosis and its subsequent lysosomal degradation. Positively regulates the canonical Wnt signaling pathway by binding to the Wnt receptor Frizzled and stimulating the binding of the Frizzled receptor to Wnt ligands. Positively regulates the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Binds to CD81 which decreases the availability of free CD81 for binding to the transcriptional repressor HHEX, resulting in nuclear translocation of HHEX and transcriptional repression. Inhibits the dipeptidyl peptidase activity of DPP4. Plays a role in limb patterning and skeletal development by controlling the cellular response to BMP4. Modulates the effects of growth factors BMP2, BMP7 and FGF7 on renal branching morphogenesis. Required for coronary vascular development. Plays a role in regulating cell movements during gastrulation.
