Most notably, Agrin is responsible for the clustering of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) on the cell surface and their localization to the neuromuscular junction. Several Agrin variants have been identified which arise from alternative mRNA splicings. Agrin splice forms having inserts at two sites in the carboxy terminus designated “y” and “z” display a high affinity for AChRs, while splice forms lacking these inserts associate with AChRs weakly. Muscle alpha-dystroglycan has been postulated to be the receptor for the clustering activity of agrin; however, this is a point of contention. Tyrosine phosphorylation has been implicated as a required early step in AChR aggregation. Interestingly, a unique receptor tyrosine kinase, designated MuSK, has been discovered that interacts with Agrin and is specifically localized to developing muscle .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct: Rabbit IgG, 1mg\/ml in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol, pH7.4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePurification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is \u0026gt; 95% (by SDS-PAGE).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecificity: AGRN polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of AGRN protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNote: For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExtra Notes: Western blot (WB) analysis of AGRN polyclonal antibody at 1:2000 dilution\u003cbr\u003e\nLane 1: PC12 whole cell lysate (40ug)\u003cbr\u003e\nLane 2: U-87MG whole cell lysate (40ug)\u003cbr\u003e\nLane 3: A549 whole cell lysate (40ug\u003cbr\u003e\n, Immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded Human ovarian cancer tissue using AGRN antibody at dilution of 1:20 (x40 lens).\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eBioworld Molecular Weight: ~ 180 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term.
