The MAGUK (Membrane Associated Guanylate kinase) family of proteins localize to regions of cell-cell contact, such as tight junctions in epithelial cells and synaptic junctions in neurons. In epithelia, membrane associated guanylate kinase, WW And PDZ domain containing 1 (MAGI-1) is localized at tight junctions and is expressed in three isoforms (MAGI-1a, MAGI-1b, and MAGI-1c). MAGI-1 was first identified in mouse as a protein interacting with K-RasB (Ras-like protein rasB).
Specificity
Recognizes rat MAGI-1 by immunoblotting (approx. 170, 130, and 120 kDa) and does not cross react with MAGI-2 or MAGI-3.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 282-296 of MAGI-1 with a carboxy terminal added cysteine residue conjugated to maleimide-activated KLH. The sequence is conserved in human and mouse.
Application
Anti-MAGI-1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in
immunoblotting
western blotting
immunostaining
Biochem/physiol Actions
Membrane associated guanylate kinase, WW And PDZ domain containing 1 (MAGI-1) interacts with β-catenin. Neuroepithelial cell-transforming gene 1(nNET1) and actin binding proteins act as binding partners of MAGI-1. Interestingly, MAGI-1c is present in nucleus, suggesting that MAGI-1 may participate in the transmission of regulatory signals from the cell surface to the nucleus.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

MAGI-1: A Widely Expressed, Alternatively Spliced Tight Junction Protein
Chinese journal of cancer research = Chung-kuo yen cheng yen chiu, 29(1), 25-35 (2017-04-05)
To explore the association of membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted 1 (MAGI1) with gastric cancer (GC) and the related molecular mechanisms. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were utilized to measure the MAGI1 expression level in GC tissues.
