聚集蛋白抗体产品介绍 Agrin is a neuronal aggregating factor that induces the aggregation of acetylcholine receptors and other postsynaptic proteins on muscle fibers and is crucial for the formation of the neuromuscular junction. 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.
Function : Plays a central role in the formation and the maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the synapse between motor neuron and skeletal muscle. Ligand of the MUSK signaling complex that directly binds LRP4 in this complex and induces the phosphorylation of MUSK, the kinase of the complex. The activation of MUSK in myotubes induces the formation of NMJ by regulating different processes including the transcription of specific genes and the clustering of AChR in the postsynaptic membrane.
Subunit : Interacts with LRP4; the interaction is direct and recruits AGRIN to the MUSK signaling complex composed at least of MUSK and LRP4 (By similarity). Binds to laminin.
Subcellular Location : Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Note=Synaptic basal lamina at the neuromuscular junction.
Tissue Specificity : Detected on the aortic endothelium (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications : Contains heparan sulfate chains as well as N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. 0-fucosylation of EGF repeat 4 of muscle AGRN by POFUT1 prevents its ability to form AChR clusters.
DISEASE : Defects in AGRN are a cause of myasthenia, limb-girdle, familial (LGM) [MIM:254300]. A congenital myasthenic syndrome characterized by a typical 'limb girdle' pattern of muscle weakness with small, simplified neuromuscular junctions but normal acetylcholine receptor and acetylcholinesterase function.
Similarity : Contains 4 EGF-like domains.
Contains 9 Kazal-like domains.
Contains 2 laminin EGF-like domains.
Contains 3 laminin G-like domains.
Contains 1 NtA (N-terminal agrin) domain.
Contains 1 SEA domain.

神经元标志物(Neuron marker)
纯度:在实验的任何阶段,确定抗体溶液纯度的最简单方法是取一部分样本进行SDS-PAGE电泳。凝胶可用考马斯亮蓝染色(灵敏度为0.1—0.5ug/带)或银染(灵敏度1~l0ug/带)。
定量:如果抗体还不纯,有一个快捷的定量方法,即通过SDS-PAGE电泳分离出轻、重链,然后和已知的标准染色带比较。如果需要分析许多样本,用免疫测定法对抗体定量较容易。如果抗体是经过纯化的,可通过测蛋白总量代替上述两种方法,有一简单的方法,即紫外吸收法。聚集蛋白抗体的量可通过测280nm处的吸收值来测(10D大致相当于0.75mg/m1的纯化抗体)。
抗原结合活性:一般说来,纯化方法不会引起抗原结合活性的改变。用蛋白G或蛋白A树脂很少导致抗体活性丧失。然而,如果最终抗体产物的作用不如原来所预料的好,检测抗体纯化过程所丢失的活性就极为重要。用一系列滴定法比较纯化的抗体和其原材料的活性,以标定每一步中的总抗体量,这将有助于较好的估计通过纯化所丢失的活性。
