NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is thought to be involved in the process of myelination. It is a lectin that binds to sialylated glycoconjugates and mediates certain myelin-neuron cell-cell interactions. Three alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
Uniprot Description
Adhesion molecule that mediates interactions between myelinating cells and neurons by binding to neuronal sialic acid-containing gangliosides and to the glycoproteins RTN4R and RTN4RL2 (). Not required for initial myelination, but seems to play a role in the maintenance of normal axon myelination. Protects motoneurons against apoptosis, also after injury; protection against apoptosis is probably mediated via interaction with neuronal RTN4R and RTN4RL2. Required to prevent degeneration of myelinated axons in adults; this probably depends on binding to gangliosides on the axon cell membrane (). Negative regulator of neurite outgrowth; in dorsal root ganglion neurons the inhibition is mediated primarily via binding to neuronal RTN4R or RTN4RL2 and to a lesser degree via binding to neuronal gangliosides. In cerebellar granule cells the inhibition is mediated primarily via binding to neuronal gangliosides. In sensory neurons, inhibition of neurite extension depends only partially on RTN4R, RTN4RL2 and gangliosides. Inhibits axon longitudinal growth (). Inhibits axon outgrowth by binding to RTN4R (). Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid. Binds ganglioside Gt1b ().

Product Notes
The Human MAG mag (Catalog #AAA2089816) is an Antibody Pair Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2089816 Antibody Pair Kit recognizes Human MAG. AAA Biotech's Myelin Associated Glycoprotein (MAG) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Chemiluminescence Immunoassays (CLIA), ELISPOT, Luminex. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAG mag for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Myelin Associated Glycoprotein (MAG), Antibody Pair Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
