Lyophilized powder

Add 100ul of sterile PBS. Final peptide concentration is 1 mg/ml in PBS. For longer periods of storage, store at -20 degree C. Avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

Small volumes of DAG1 blocking peptide vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

This gene encodes dystroglycan, a central component of dystrophin-glycoprotein complex that links the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton in the skeletal muscle. The encoded preproprotein undergoes O- and N-glycosylation, and proteolytic processing to generate alpha and beta subunits. Certain mutations in this gene are known to cause distinct forms of muscular dystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, all encoding the same protein.

DAG1: a cytoskeletal protein that functions as a laminin receptor. Provides a linkage between the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. May be involved in autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies. Its dramatic reduction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy leads to a loss of linkage between the sarcolemma and extracellular matrix, rendering muscle fibers more susceptible to necrosis. Dystroglycan also functions as dual receptor for agrin and laminin-2 in the Schwann cell membrane. Binds to several types of arenaviruses. Is a target for the entry of Mycobacterium leprae into peripheral nerve Schwann cells. The muscle and nonmuscle isoforms of dystroglycan differ by carbohydrate moieties but not protein sequence.
