Preparation and Storage

Background: MAGI2

MAGI2 (AIP-1, ACVRINP1 also known as Activin receptor-interacting protein 1 and S-SCAM in rodents);  is a 160‑180 kDa member of the MAGUK family of proteins. It is found in neuronal post-synaptic membrane complexes, and serves as a molecular scaffold for multiple proteins, including alpha -actinin, dendrin, SMAD3 and beta ‑catenin. ARIP-1 facilitates the signaling of both growth factor and neurotransmitter receptors such as ActRIIA, NMDA and beta ₁-adrenergic receptors. Human ARIP-1 is 1455 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an N-terminal PZD domain (aa 17-101), followed by a guanylate kinase-like domain (aa 109-283), two WW domains (aa 302‑381) and five subsequent PZD domains (aa 426-1229). ARIP-1 is reported to dimerize/oligomerize. There are three potential isoform variants. All utilize an alternative start site at Met164 that may be accompanied by either an Arg substitution for aa 757-771, or a 48 aa substitution for aa 1236-1455. Over aa 2-130, human and mouse ARIP-1 are identical in aa sequence.
