NG2/CSPG4 Antibody
Product Specifications
Background
Neuron-glial antigen 2 (NG2) is a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that is encoded by the CSPG4 gene in humans. It is an excellent oligodendrocyte marker. NG2 is a hallmark protein of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and has been linked with familial schizophrenia (de Vrij, F.M., et al, 2018) . NG2 also plays a role in stabilizing cell-substratum interactions during early events of melanoma cell spreading on endothelial basement membranes. It represents an integral membrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan expressed by human malignant melanoma cells (Luo, W., et al, 2006) . NG2 localizes at the apical plasma membrane and relocalizes to the lamellipodia of astrocytoma upon PRKCA phosphorylation.
