  • 产品描述:

    The Rat Agrin (AGRN) ELISA kit is a reliable and accurate tool for measuring Agrin protein levels in samples from Rattus norvegicus (Rat). Agrin, encoded by the AGRN gene, is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction.

    This ELISA kit provides a simple and sensitive assay to quantify Rat Agrin in serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates with a detection range of 78 pg/mL to 5000 pg/mL and a sensitivity of 19.5 pg/mL. The assay can be completed in just 1-5 hours, making it an efficient and convenient tool for research purposes.

    The Rat Agrin (AGRN) ELISA kit requires a sample volume of only 50-100 µl, minimizing the need for large sample sizes. Detection is performed at a wavelength of 450 nm, with results displayed in a standard curve format.

  • 功能:
    heparan sulfate basal lamina glycoprotein that plays a central role in the formation and the maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and directs key events in postsynaptic differentiation. This neuron-specific (z+) isoform is a component of the AGRN-LRP4 receptor complex that induces the phosphorylation and activation of MUSK. The activation of MUSK in myotubes induces the formation of NMJ by regulating different processes including the transcription of specific genes and the clustering of AChR in the postsynaptic membrane. Calcium ions are required for maximal AChR clustering. AGRN function in neurons is highly regulated by alternative splicing, glycan binding and proteolytic processing. Modulates calcium ion homeostasis in neurons, specifically by inducing an increase in cytoplasmic calcium ions. Functions differentially in the central nervous system (CNS) by inhibiting the alpha(3)-subtype of Na+/K+-ATPase and evoking depolarization at CNS synapses. This transmembrane agrin (TM-agrin) isoform, the predominate form in neurons of the brain, induces dendritic filopodia and synapse formation in mature hippocampal neurons in large part due to the attached glycosaminoglycan chains and the action of Rho-family GTPases.; Isoform 1, isoform 4, isoform 5 and isoform 6: neuron-specific (z+) isoforms that contain C-terminal insertions of 8-19 AA are potent activators of AChR clustering. Isoform 5, agrin (z+8), containing the 8-AA insert, forms a receptor complex in myotubules containing the neuronal AGRN, the muscle-specific kinase MUSK and LRP4, a member of the LDL receptor family. The splicing factors, NOVA1 and NOVA2, regulate AGRN splicing and production of the 'z' isoforms.; is involved in regulation of neurite outgrowth probably due to the presence of the glycosaminoglcan (GAG) side chains of heparan and chondroitin sulfate attached to the Ser/Thr- and Gly/Ser-rich regions. Also involved in modulation of growth factor signaling.; this released fragment is important for agrin signaling and to exert a maximal dendritic filopodia-inducing effect. All 'z' splice variants (z+) of this fragment also show an increase in the number of filopodia.
