4F7_PURE_beta-Dystroglycan_Antibody_1_WB_053017
Western blot of purified anti-β-Dystroglycan antibody (clone 4F7), and isotype-matched mouse IgG2b control. Lane 1: 20 µg of human brain lysate; Lane 2: 20 µg of mouse brain lysate. The blots were incubated with 5 µg/ml of clone 4F7 or mouse IgG overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system. The antibody also detects a smaller band, slightly higher than the 25 kD molecular marker, which corresponds to a cleavage product of β-dystroglycan as previously reported.

    IHC staining of purified anti-β-Dystroglycan antibody (clone 4F7) on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded normal human heart tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R., the tissue was incubated with 5 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. BioLegend's Ultra-Streptavidin (USA) HRP kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929901) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. The image was captured with a 40X objective.

Description

Dystroglycan is a central component of dystrophin-glycoprotein complex that is encoded by the DAG1 gene. Dystroglycan links the cytoskeletal structure to the extracellular matrix. Dystroglycan is proteolytically cleaved to 2 functional peptides, α- and β-dystroglycan. β-dystroglycan is a transmembrane protein, which acts as a cell adhesion receptor in human tissues. The interactions between β-dystroglycan and dystrophin and utrophin scaffolds axin to the cytoskeleton. β-dystroglycan has also been reported to play a role in cell adhesion-mediated signaling and is implicated in cell polarity.
