NG2 is a high molecular weight, integral membrane chondroitin sufate 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 (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.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation and ELISA.
Other applications not tested.

仕様
Size：100ug
Host：rabbit
Source Antibody：rat
Grade：Affinity Purified
Purity：Purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.
Form：Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.7, 0.02% sodium azide.
Specificity：Recognizes rat Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan between ~270-300kD. Reacts with both the intact Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan and the core protein by Western Blot and ELISA. When oligodendrocyte pecurser cells (O-2A progenitor cells) are stained alive, the stain appears as clusters on the cell surface. Does not stain diferentatied oligodendrocytes well. Species Crossreactivity: human, mouse and monkey
Isotype：IgG
Calc Applications Abbrev：E IC IHC WB
Calc Crossreactivity：Rt
Immunogen：Recombinant protein corresponding to aa30-2225 from rat Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan. Species Sequence Homology: mouse
