MAG Antibody / Myelin Associated Glycoprotein Antibody recognizes myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG), also known as SIGLEC4A, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin family. MAG is expressed almost exclusively by myelinating oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, where it is concentrated within the periaxonal membrane of the myelin sheath. This strategic localization enables MAG to mediate critical interactions between myelinating glia and axons, supporting long-term axonal integrity and proper nerve function. NSJ Bioreagents supplies MAG Antibody / Myelin Associated Glycoprotein Antibody for reliable detection of this essential myelin-associated protein in a wide range of neuroscience applications.
MAG functions as an adhesion and signaling molecule that stabilizes axon-myelin interactions while regulating axonal growth and neuronal maintenance. By binding sialylated glycoconjugates on the axonal surface, MAG helps preserve mature neuronal architecture and contributes to myelin sheath stability. It is also well known for its ability to inhibit axonal regeneration following injury, making it an important target in studies of spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve repair, and regenerative neuroscience. Consequently, MAG Antibody / Myelin Associated Glycoprotein Antibody is widely used to investigate myelin formation, oligodendrocyte biology, neuron-glia communication, and mechanisms governing axonal regeneration.
Altered MAG expression has been associated with multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathies, leukodystrophies, traumatic nerve injury, and several neurodegenerative disorders. Autoantibodies directed against MAG are also implicated in demyelinating neuropathies characterized by sensory dysfunction and impaired nerve conduction. Because myelin integrity is fundamental to efficient neuronal signaling, MAG remains an important biomarker for studies of myelin maintenance, demyelination, remyelination, and nervous system repair. Researchers frequently investigate MAG to better understand white matter biology, axonal preservation, and the molecular pathways that regulate myelin stability.
A MAG Antibody / Myelin Associated Glycoprotein Antibody is a valuable reagent for investigating myelin biology, axon-glia interactions, oligodendrocyte function, and nerve regeneration. By enabling reliable detection of Myelin Associated Glycoprotein, a MAG Antibody / Myelin Associated Glycoprotein Antibody supports research into neurodegeneration, demyelinating disease, peripheral neuropathy, and the molecular mechanisms that maintain healthy myelinated axons.

Optimal dilution of the MAG Antibody / Myelin Associated Glycoprotein Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
E. coli-derived recombinant human Myelin Associated Glycoprotein (amino acids E34-R605) was used as the immunogen for the MAG Antibody.
After reconstitution, the MAG Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
