MAG Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is thought to be involved in the process of myelination. It is a lectin that binds to sialylated glycoconjugates and mediates certain myelin-neuron cell-cell interactions. Three alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010], function:Adhesion molecule in postnatal neural development that mediates sialic-acid dependent cell-cell interactions between neuronal and myelinating cells. Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid., online information:Siglec-4, similarity:Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. SIGLEC (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin) family., similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain., similarity:Contains 4 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains., subunit:Binds to RTN4R.
