NEUCRIN Antibody
Catalog Number: 25359
Technical:tech@swbio.com
Information:info@swbio.com
Description
- Swiss-Prot No.:
- Swiss-Prot:Q8NBI3
Gene ID:374946
- Form of Antibody:
- Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
- Storage:
- Can be stored at -20˚C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
- Immunogen:
- Raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human Neucrin.
- other_names:
- Draxin, dorsal repulsive axon guidance protein
- Purification:
- Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
- Specificity:
- At least three isoforms of Neucrin are known to exist; this antibody will detect the two shorter isoforms. Neucrin antibody is predicted to not cross-react with RILP.
- Background:
- Neucrin, also known as Draxin, is a repulsive guidance protein for the spinal cord and forebrain commissures. It is thought to act as an antagonist of canonical Wnt signaling by inhibiting the stabilization of cytosolic beta-catenin. Ectopically expressed neucrin inhibited growth or caused misrouting of chick spinal cord commissural axons in vivo while Neucrin-null mice showed defasciculation of spinal cord commissural axons and an absence of all forebrain commisures. Other experiments in mice have shown that olfactory bulb axonal outgrowth is inhibited by Neucrin, suggesting that Neucrin functions as an inhibitory guidance cue for olfactory bulb axons.
