Recombinant Human Lumican

Source : Escherichia Coli. LUM Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 343 amino acids (19-338a.a) and having a molecular mass of 30.9kDa.LUM is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Lumican also known as LUM belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family which comprises decorin, biglycan, fibromodulin, keratocan, epiphycan, and osteoglycin. Furthermore we can see that in these bifunctional molecules, the protein moiety binds collagen fibrils and the highly charged hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans regulate interfibrillar spacings. Lumican is the main keratan sulfate proteoglycan of the cornea however LUM is also distributed in interstitial collagenous matrices throughout the body. Lumican regulates collagen fibril organization and circumferential growth, corneal transparency, epithelial cell migration and tissue repair. Among the diseases associated with LUM is posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy.
