Product Specifications

Immunogen

Recombinant rat agrin (C-terminal fragment).

Reactivity Notes

Please note that this antibody is reactive to Mouse and derived from the same host, Mouse. Mouse-On-Mouse blocking reagent may be needed for IHC and ICC experiments to reduce high background signal. You can find these reagents under catalog numbers PK-2200-NB and MP-2400-NB. Please contact Technical Support if you have any questions.

Localization

Synaptic basal lamina at the neuromuscular junction.

Specificity

detects all isoforms of agrin. This recognizes all N1 isoforms but, consistent with the epitope mapping investigations, fails to see the N4 protein. Furthermore, the will detect the X, Y and Z splice variants.

Clonality

Monoclonal

Host

Mouse

Isotype

IgG2 Alpha

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.
