Anti-NGRN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein neugrin, neurite outgrowth associated. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 291 amino acid residues and a mass of 32.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus, mitochondria, and is secreted. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed at high levels in the heart, brain and skeletal muscle. A member of the Neugrin protein family, Ngrn is known to play an important role in mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include neugrin, mesenchymal stem cell protein DSC92, neurite outgrowth associated protein, spinal cord-derived protein FI58G, and DSC92. NGRN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. A number of Ngrn antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
