Oligodendrocyte-myelin glycoprotein, OMG, OMGP.

Oligodendrocyte-myelin glycoprotein (OMG) is a cell membrane protein which contains 8 leucine-rich repeats. The OMG protein is expressed on the surface of oligodendrocytes and on large projection neurons, including Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, pyramidal cells of the hippocampus, motoneurons of the brainstem and anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. The neurite outgrowth inhibitory activities of all three myelin-derived proteins are mediated by binding to a joint receptor complex consisting of the Nogo receptor and the p75 neurotrophin receptor.

OMG Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 401 amino acids (25-418) and having a molecular mass of 45.4kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 50-100kDa).
OMG is fused to 8 amino acid His-Tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
