MAG Antibody / Axon-Glia Interaction Protein Antibody recognizes myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG), a membrane glycoprotein expressed by myelinating oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. MAG is concentrated at the innermost layer of the myelin sheath, where it forms a specialized interface between glial cells and axons. Through this strategic localization, MAG maintains stable communication between myelin-forming cells and neurons while supporting long-term axonal integrity. NSJ Bioreagents supplies MAG Antibody / Axon-Glia Interaction Protein Antibody for reliable detection of this essential nervous system protein across numerous research applications.
MAG functions as an adhesion and signaling molecule that regulates axon-glia interactions throughout development and adulthood. By binding sialylated glycoconjugates on neuronal membranes, MAG stabilizes the axon-myelin unit, promotes myelin maintenance, and contributes to the long-term survival of myelinated axons. In addition to preserving mature neural circuits, MAG is widely recognized for its inhibitory effects on axonal regeneration following injury, making it an important research target in studies of spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve repair, and regenerative neuroscience. Consequently, MAG Antibody / Axon-Glia Interaction Protein Antibody is widely used to investigate neuron-glia communication, myelin biology, axonal maintenance, and nervous system repair.
Abnormal MAG expression or function has been associated with demyelinating diseases, peripheral neuropathies, multiple sclerosis, leukodystrophies, traumatic nerve injury, and several neurodegenerative disorders. Autoantibodies directed against MAG are also implicated in immune-mediated neuropathies characterized by progressive sensory dysfunction and impaired nerve conduction. Because disruption of axon-glia communication contributes directly to neuronal degeneration, MAG has become an important biomarker for evaluating myelin integrity and nervous system health. Researchers frequently investigate MAG to better understand mechanisms governing myelin stability, axonal preservation, and remyelination.
A MAG Antibody / Axon-Glia Interaction Protein Antibody is a valuable reagent for investigating axon-glia signaling, myelin maintenance, neuronal communication, and nervous system development. By enabling reliable detection of Myelin Associated Glycoprotein, a MAG Antibody / Axon-Glia Interaction Protein Antibody supports research into demyelinating disease, neurodegeneration, peripheral neuropathy, and the molecular pathways that preserve healthy myelinated axons.

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the MAG Antibody / Axon-Glia Interaction Protein Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
1. MAG is seen in western blotting from 60~100KD depending on the level of glycosylation.
Amino acids 114-132 (KYYFRGDLGGYNQYTFSEH) were used as the immunogen for this MAG antibody (100% homologous in human, mouse and rat).
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.
