Product Specifications

Immunogen

Recombinant rat agrin, C-terminal construct.

Epitope

Epitope has been mapped near the 2nd laminin domain homology region and causes a marked reduction in the number of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) clusters. Insertion of an 8aa peptide at splicing site Z increases the clustering activity

Reactivity Notes

Cross-reacts with Mouse and Rat. Not yet tested in other species. Please note that this antibody is reactive to Mouse and derived from the same host, Mouse. Additional Mouse on Mouse blocking steps may be required for IHC and ICC experiments. Please contact Technical Support for more information.

Localization

Synaptic basal lamina at the neuromuscular junction.

Specificity

detects all isoforms of agrin.

Background: Agrin

Agrin is an essential extracellular matrix component which promotes clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and other proteins during development at the neuromuscular junction. Agrin, MuSK and Rapsyn are all essential components for AChR aggregation, through an unknown mechanism. The C-terminal region of agrin is released into the medium, interacts with receptors on the muscle surface and induces AChR aggregation. The central region contains two O-linked glycosylation sites and a domain homologous to domain III of laminin. The N-terminal region anchors agrin to the extracellular matrix via other basal membrane components. This region also contains a protease inhibitor domain and glycosaminoglycan attachment sites; increasing the predicted MW from 200kDa to ~600kDa.
