OMG Polyclonal Antibody

Oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMG, OMgp) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein expressed by neurons and oligodendrocytes that influences the development of the adult central nervous system (CNS) . OMG inhibits neurite outgrowth through its interaction with the Nogo receptor. This function requires its leucine-rich repeat domain, a highly-conserved region in OMG that influences cell proliferation, formation and maintenance of myelin sheaths. OMG inhibits neurite outgrowth from rat cerebellar granule and hippocampal cells; from dorsal root ganglion explants in which growth cone collapse was observed; from rat retinal ganglion neurons; and from NG108 and PC-12 cells.
