Immunogen
Expression system for standard: NS0; Immunogen sequence: L18-S214
Cell culture supeatants, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA): add activating reagent pro rata, i.e. add 25?l of Solution A into 50?l of sample, 10 min later, add 25?l of Solution B. PH 7.0-7.6.
It is unnecessary to activate the recombinant EPCR.
Sample was diluted partly after adding activating reagent, so please pay attention to this when calculate target protein concentration.
Anticoagulant
heparin or EDTA
Activating Reagent
EPCR is mostly contained as inactive form in samples, please activate it before assay. Don't activate recombinant EPCR. Solution A: 1N HCI: add 8.33ml of 12N HCI into 91.67ml of H2O. Solution B: 1.2N NaOH/0.5M HEPES: add 12ml of 10N NaOH and 11.9g HEPES into 75ml of H2O, add H2O to adjust volume to 100ml.

Protein Function
Binds activated protein C. Enhances protein C activation by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex; plays a role in the protein C pathway controlling blood coagulation.
Background
Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), also known as CCCA or PROCR, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PROCR gene. PRPCR gene is mapped to 20q11.2 by radiation hybrid analysis and FISH. The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for activated protein C, a serine protease activated by and involved in the blood coagulation pathway. The encoded protein is an N-glycosylated type I membrane protein that enhances the activation of protein C. Mutations in this gene have been associated with venous thromboembolism and myocardial infarction, as well as with late fetal loss during pregnancy.
