Anti-MAGE D1 (NRAGE, MAGE-D1, Dlxin-1)

Neurotrophin receptor-interacting MAGE homolog (NRAGE, also known as MAGE-D1 or Dlxin-1) is a ubiquitously expressed cytosolic protein that is a member of the melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) family. The 778 aa human NRAGE protein contains a segment with 22 repeats of a W(P/Q)xPxx motif, followed by a MAGE domain. In the brain, NRAGE interacts with p75NTR, blocks cell cycle progression and facilitates NGF-dependent apoptosis. Over amino acids 73-254, human NRAGE shares 87% aa identity with mouse NRAGE. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS, sterile 40-50% glycerol, 0.02% sodium azide, aliquot and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C.
