LINGO1 Human

Source: Escherichia Coli.Sterile Filtered colorless solution.Leucine Rich Repeat And Ig Domain Containing 1, also known as Lingo1 is primarily expressed in neuronal tissue, and most abundantly in the cortex. In addition, Lingo 1 is involved in the inhibition of axon regeneration all the way through a ternary complex formed with NgR1 (ligand-binding subunit) and p75 (signal transducing subunit) . The inhibitory action is accomplished through RhoA-GTP upregulation in response to the presence of MOG, MAG or Nogo-66 in the central nervous system. Furthermore, LINGO-1 inhibits oligodendrocyte precursor differentiation as well as myelination, by a mechanism which also involves activation of RhoA, however it appears that it does not require 75 or NgR1.LINGO1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 133 amino acids (241-337 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 15.1kDa. LINGO1 is fused to a 36 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
