Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

Repulsive Guidance Molecule A (RGMa) also known as RGM domain family member A is a glycoprotein involved in axon guidance and neuronal differentiation. It has a molecular weight of approximately 37 kDa. RGMa is expressed broadly in the central nervous system particularly in developing nervous tissues. Beyond the CNS RGMa is also found in various non-neuronal tissues. Its role in axonal repulsion is facilitated by its interaction with the Neogenin receptor influencing the directionality and pathfinding of growing nerve fibers.
Biological function summary

RGMa plays a role in maintaining the structural organization of the nervous system by preventing aberrant nerve growth. RGMa forms part of a larger signaling complex that influences cell differentiation and migration. It acts by binding to Neogenin and recruiting co-receptors such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) which regulate the differentiation and proliferation of neural progenitor cells. This interaction highlights its involvement in maintaining proper neural architecture and functionality.

Pathways

RGMa engages in the BMP signaling pathway and the axon guidance pathway. Its interaction with BMP proteins affects the Smad signaling cascade ultimately influencing gene expression essential for neuronal differentiation. Furthermore RGMa's influence on axon guidance involves coordination with other guidance cues that help establish neural circuitry during development. Its functional relationship with Neogenin and BMP signaling pathways highlights its regulatory role in neural patterning.

RGMa is linked to conditions such as spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis. In the context of spinal cord injury increased expression of RGMa contributes to the inhibition of neural regeneration due to its repulsive signaling effects. It interacts with other proteins including Neogenin to exacerbate the inhibitory environment post-injury. In multiple sclerosis RGMa regulates immune cell infiltration into the CNS linking it to disease progression and pathology. Understanding RGMa's role opens potential therapeutic avenues to modulate its activity in these disorders.

Target data

Member of the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family that performs several functions in the developing and adult nervous system. Regulates cephalic neural tube closure, inhibits neurite outgrowth and cortical neuron branching, and the formation of mature synapses. Binding to its receptor NEO1/neogenin induces activation of RHOA-ROCK1/Rho-kinase signaling pathway through UNC5B-ARHGEF12/LARG-PTK2/FAK1 cascade, leading to collapse of the neuronal growth cone and neurite outgrowth inhibition. Furthermore, RGMA binding to NEO1/neogenin leads to HRAS inactivation by influencing HRAS-PTK2/FAK1-AKT1 pathway. It also functions as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) coreceptor that may signal through SMAD1, SMAD5, and SMAD8.
