General description

NG2 is a high molecular weight, integral membrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. It is found on the surfaces of an unusual class of glial cells within the developing and mature central nervous system that have the properties of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (i.e., O-2A progenitor cells). NG2 is also found on the surfaces of chondroblasts, proliferating capillary endothelial cells, some human melanoma cell lines, and on leukemic blasts in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The NG2 proteoglycan is likely to play a role in regulation of cell motility, axon outgrowth and the cellular responses to platelet-derived growth factor.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the native, recombinant, and protein from cells which express NG2.

Immunogen

Cell line expressing a truncated form of NG2

The ECM exerts great effects on cells, and changed composition may therefore have profound impact. Small leucine-rich proteoglycans, e.g. fibromodulin, are essential in collagen assembly. Our aim was to investigate the role of fibromodulin in healthy and fibrotic lung parenchyma

Pulmonary fibrosis is a grave diagnosis with insidious progression, generally considered as a consequence of aberrant epithelial wound healing and excessive scarring. This process is commonly modeled in animals by local bleomycin administration, resulting in peribronchial inflammation and subsequent fibrosis.
