Description

General description

Myelin/oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is an integral membrane glycoprotein belonging to the large immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a 26-28kDa glycoprotein localized on chromosome 6p21.3. It consists of an extracellular immunoglobulin-like domain and two hydrophobic regions. It is expressed on the surface of myelinating oligodendrocytes and external lamellae of myelin sheaths in the central nervous system.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 84-100 located near the N-terminal region of human MOGα1 isoform, conjugated to KLH. This sequence is identical in human MOGα1-3 and MOGβ1-4 isoforms, deleted in MOGα4 isoform, and identical in rat, mouse, and bovine MOG.

Application

Anti-MOG (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blot at a concentration of 1-2μg/mL using recombinant human MOG protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myelin/oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a major component of the central nervous system. It is involved in several cellular processes including cellular adhesion, in the regulation of oligodendrocyte microtubule stability and facilitates the interactions between myelin and the immune system. It has been reported that MOG may be involved in the completion and/or maintenance of the myelin sheath, and in cell-cell communication. It has also been observed that mutation or polymorphisms in MOG gene could cause multiple sclerosis.

Physical form
