Anti-NEUCRIN DRAXIN Antibody

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.

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.

Neucrin antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human Neucrin. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of NEUCRIN.

Chemorepulsive axon guidance protein required for the development of spinal cord and forebrain commissures. Acts as a chemorepulsive guidance protein for commissural axons during development. Able to inhibit or repel neurite outgrowth from dorsal spinal cord. Inhibits the stabilization of cytosolic beta- catenin (CTNNB1) via its interaction with LRP6, thereby acting as an antagonist of Wnt signaling pathway.

NEUCRIN antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
