INTRODUCTION
Agrin or AGRN is a large protein (proteoglycan) that has a crucial part in the development of neuromuscular junction amid embryogenesis. The protein has an involvement in the collection and aggregation of acetylcholine receptors through synaptogenesis. The agrin gene can be found and expressed in rat embryonic nervous system andmuscle tissue. This Agrin protein is aggregated in the synapses, there it can take part in regeneration & development. The protein binds to receptors on the surface of skeletal muscle.
DESCRIPTION
Agrin Rat produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 766 amino acids (997-1753 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 82.5kDa.
Agrin is fused to a 9 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
