Description
Introduction: 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.
Description: 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
