Repulsive guidance molecule A Recombinant Protein

Repulsive guidance molecule A (RGMA) is a cell membrane protein and belongs to the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family. It interacts with NEO1, BMP2 and BMP4. RGMA is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein that functions as an axon guidance protein in the developing and adult central nervous system. It helps guide Retinal Ganglion Cell (RGC) axons to the tectum in the midbrain. RGMa has been implicated to play an important role in the developing brain and in the scar tissue that forms after a brain injury. This protein may also function as a tumor suppressor in some cancers.
