    • 機能

      The dystroglycan complex is involved in a number of processes including laminin and basement membrane assembly, sarcolemmal stability, cell survival, peripheral nerve myelination, nodal structure, cell migration, and epithelial polarization.
      Alpha-dystroglycan is an extracellular peripheral glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for both extracellular matrix proteins containing laminin-G domains, and for certain adenoviruses. Receptor for laminin-2 (LAMA2) and agrin in peripheral nerve Schwann cells. Also acts as a receptor for M.leprae in peripheral nerve Schwann cells but only in the presence of the G-domain of LAMA2, and for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, Old World Lassa fever virus, and clade C New World arenaviruses.
      Beta-dystroglycan is a transmembrane protein that plays important roles in connecting the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton. Acts as a cell adhesion receptor in both muscle and non-muscle tissues. Receptor for both DMD and UTRN and, through these interactions, scaffolds axin to the cytoskeleton. Also functions in cell adhesion-mediated signaling and implicated in cell polarity.

    • 組織特異性

      Expressed in a variety of fetal and adult tissues. In epidermal tissue, located to the basement membrane. Also expressed in keratinocytes and fibroblasts.

    • 関連疾患

      Defects in DAG1 are the cause of muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy limb-girdle type C7 (MDDGC7) [MIM:613818]. An autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy showing onset in early childhood, and associated with mental retardation without structural brain anomalies. Note=MDDGC7 is caused by DAG1 mutations that interfere with normal post-translational processing, resulting in defective DAG1 glycosylation and impaired interactions with extracellular-matrix components. Other muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathies are caused by defects in enzymes involved in protein O-glycosylation.

    • 配列類似性

      Contains 1 peptidase S72 domain.

    • 翻訳後修飾

      O- and N-glycosylated. Alpha-dystroglycan is heavily O-glycosylated comprising of up to two thirds of its mass and the carbohydrate composition differs depending on tissue type. Mucin-type O-glycosylation is important for ligand binding activity. O-mannosylation of alpha-DAG1 is found in high abundance in both brain and muscle where the most abundant glycan is Sia-alpha-2-3-Gal-beta-1-4-Glc-NAc-beta-1-2-Man. In muscle, glycosylation on Thr-379 by a phosphorylated O-mannosyl glycan with the structure 2-(N-acetylamido)-2-deoxygalactosyl-beta-1,3-2-(N-acetylamido)-2-deoxyglucosyl-beta-1,4-6-phosphomannose is mediated by like-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (LARGE) protein and is required for laminin binding. O-mannosylation is also required for binding lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, Old World Lassa fever virus, and clade C New World arenaviruses. The O-glycosyl hexose on Thr-367, Thr-369, Thr-372, Thr-381 and Thr-388 is probably mannose. O-glycosylated in the N-terminal region with a core 1 or possibly core 8 glycan. The beta subunit is N-glycosylated.
      Autolytic cleavage produces the alpha and beta subunits. In cutaneous cells, as well as in certain pathological conditions, shedding of beta-dystroglcan can occur releasing a peptide of about 30 kDa.
      SRC-mediated phosphorylation of the PPXY motif of the beta subunit recruits SH2 domain-containing proteins, but inhibits binding to WWW domain-containing proteins, DMD and UTRN. This phosphorylation also inhibits nuclear entry.

    • 細胞内局在

      Secreted > extracellular space and Cell membrane. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Nucleus > nucleoplasm. The monomeric form translocates to the nucleus via the action of importins and depends on RAN. Nuclear transport is inhibited by Tyr-892 phosphorylation. In skeletal muscle, this phosphorylated form locates to a vesicular internal membrane compartment. In peripheral nerves, localizes to the Schwann cell membrane. Colocalizes with ERM proteins in Schwann-cell microvilli.

      Answer

      Thank you for your email. We had 4 days of holidays, which is why your inquiry wasn't dealt in time. On the other hand Dr Tanya is out of office this week so I will be dealing with her inquiries.

      I have read the whole protocol and information you have provided. It seems that you haven't fixed the samples; we always recommend customer fixing the samples in ice cold fixative e.g. acetone, methanol or ethanol for 15 minutes; this is necessary in IHC-FoFr which helps to avoid the antigen retrieval method.

      The specificity note of ab106110 datasheet states, the antibody is only specific for a glycoepitope on brain bovine Alpha Dystroglycan, which is absent on Alpha Dystroglycan expressed in all other tissues. So we recommend using brain samples as positive control.

      ab64568 was developed using muscle sample this ab could be perfect with your muscle sample.

      I hope this information will be helpful. Should you have any question please do not hesitate to contact me.

      Question

      We usually don't fix the samples for our routine IHC, and this is the first time we have procured the antibody from abcam. we are using the muscle biopsy samples not the brain sample and we are looking for alpha-dystroglycan staining on the muscle fibres for our neuromuscular dystrophy patients. is it that we have procured the wrong antibody?

      as you are suggesting that ab64568 was developed using muscle sample and this ab would be ideal for muscle sample. I request you to kindly make a replacement of the antibody that we have got with the one you are suggesting. As the muscle biopsy is an invasive procedure , two of our patients are awainitng the IHC results. Though we procured the antibody in Dec., clinically suspected patient came in May and the vial was opened in may.

      I request you to consider the case and solve the problem asap.

      Answer

      Thanks you for your email.

      We have provided antibody ab106110 as per your order. It is clearly mentioned on the datasheet that ab64568 only detects the brain Alpha Dystroglycan because it is specific to a particular protein which is not expressed on other tissues so I would not expecting its use with muscle samples.

      We do not change antibodies if they are incorrectly ordered and are used by customers. We can however provide exchanges in case of unopened and correctly stored antibodies. This means your order is not entitle for antibody exchange. However as your patients are waiting results so I am happy making an exception this time and will provide you ab64568 as replacement. Please note this antibody has not been tested in IHC-Fr yet so the experimental conditions has to be determined by the end user.

      Please contact our Indian distributor from whom you purchased this product. They then need to contact us for agreed replacement.

      I hope this info will be helpful. Should you have any question please do not hesitate to ask.

      Question

      To

      The Abcam technical expert team,



      I have recently procured the Anti-alpha dystroglycal antibody (2238) from abcam andopened it for the first time on24th may'12 for IHC staining of the frozen muscle biopsy sections, but there was no staining seen with the antibody on the positive sample.

      Iused the NOVOLINK Polymer Detection System for detecting the primary antibody.

      I would like to know whether the absence of staining is due the incompatility with the secondary detection or something else, or i have got the wrong antibody instead of antibody 2238 i should have got https://www.abcam.com/Alpha-Dystroglycan-phospho-Y893-antibody-ab118551.htmlfor my purpose of staining.

      Please help me, two of my patients are waiting for the biopsy results.
