SIGLEC-4a Antibody / Sialic Acid Binding Immunoglobulin Like Lectin 4A Antibody recognizes Sialic Acid Binding Immunoglobulin Like Lectin 4A (SIGLEC-4a), more commonly known as myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG). Unlike most members of the Siglec family, which are expressed primarily by immune cells, SIGLEC-4a is selectively expressed by myelinating oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. The protein is concentrated within the periaxonal membrane of the myelin sheath, where it mediates critical communication between glial cells and axons. NSJ Bioreagents supplies SIGLEC-4a Antibody 2G11 for reliable detection of this specialized neuronal Siglec in a broad range of research applications.
Sialic Acid Binding Immunoglobulin Like Lectin 4A functions by recognizing sialylated glycoconjugates present on neuronal membranes, thereby stabilizing the intimate association between axons and their surrounding myelin. Through these interactions, SIGLEC-4a promotes long-term axonal maintenance, preserves myelin integrity, and supports efficient nerve impulse conduction. The protein also participates in intracellular signaling pathways that inhibit axonal regeneration following injury, making it an important regulator of nervous system repair. Consequently, SIGLEC-4a Antibody / Sialic Acid Binding Immunoglobulin Like Lectin 4A Antibody is widely used to investigate neuron-glia communication, myelin biology, axonal stability, and regenerative neuroscience.
Altered expression or function of SIGLEC-4a has been implicated in multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathies, leukodystrophies, traumatic nerve injury, and other disorders characterized by demyelination or axonal degeneration. Autoantibodies directed against MAG are likewise associated with immune-mediated demyelinating neuropathies that impair sensory and motor function. Because Sialic Acid Binding Immunoglobulin Like Lectin 4A is essential for maintaining healthy myelinated axons, it serves as an important biomarker for studies of myelin maintenance, remyelination, and neurodegenerative disease.
SIGLEC-4a Antibody (clone 2G11) is a valuable reagent for investigating myelin biology, sialic acid-mediated cell recognition, axon-glia communication, and nervous system development. By enabling reliable detection of Sialic Acid Binding Immunoglobulin Like Lectin 4A, a SIGLEC-4a Antibody / Sialic Acid Binding Immunoglobulin Like Lectin 4A Antibody supports research into demyelinating disease, peripheral neuropathy, neurodegeneration, and the molecular mechanisms that preserve myelin integrity.
For a broader overview of this myelin-associated protein and additional validated reagents, visit our MAG Antibody / Myelin Associated Glycoprotein Antibody page.
Optimal dilution of the SIGLEC-4a Antibody / Sialic Acid Binding Immunoglobulin Like Lectin 4A Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A human recombinant partial protein (amino acids E34-R605) was used as the immunogen for the Siglec-4a antibody.
After reconstitution, the Siglec-4a antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
