Purification tag / Conjugate: This OMG protein is labelled with His tag.

Purpose: Recombinant Human OMGP/OMG Protein (aa 1-420, His Tag)(Active)

Sequence: Met 1-Asn 420

Characteristics: A DNA sequence encoding the mature form of human OMGP (P23515-1) (Met 1-Asn 420) without the pro peptide was expressed, fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Purity: > 97 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin Level: < 1.0 EU per μg as determined by the LAL method.

Biological Activity Comment: Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of C6 Rat brain glial cells. Immobilized OMG (0.8 μg/ml, 100 μl/well) will mediate >20% C6 cell adhesion.

Background:

Background: Oligodendrocyte-myelin glycoprotein; also known as OMG and OMGP; is a cell membrane protein which contains eight LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. OMG / OMGP is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein expressed by neurons and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS). OMG / OMGP is a cell adhesion molecule contributing to the interactive process required for myelination in the central nervous system. OMG / OMGP play roles in both the developing and adult central nervous system. OMG / OMGP participats in growth cone collapse and inhibition of neurite outgrowth through its interaction with NgR; the receptor for Nogo. This function requires its leucine-rich repeat domain; a highly conserved region in OMgp during mammal evolution. OMG / OMGP leucine-rich repeat domain is also implicated in the inhibition of cell proliferation. OMG / OMGP may also be involved in the formation and maintenance of myelin sheaths. Cell proliferation; neuronal sprouting and myelination are crucial processes involved in brain development and regeneration after injury.
