NG2/MCSP Proteins and Enzymes

NG2, also known as CSPG4, MCSP, and AN2, is a 400-500 kDa transmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) that is expressed on glial cell progenitors known as O2A cells or NG2 glia. It binds to the extracellular matrix proteins Laminin, Tenascin, and Collagens II, V, and VI as well as to the growth factors basic FGF and PDGF-AA. NG2 associate...
