Scientific Data

Acetylcholine Receptor Clustering Mediated by MuSK and Neutralization by Rat MuSK Antibody. Recombinant Rat Agrin (Catalog # 550-AG) induces MuSK-dependent acetylcholine receptor clustering on myotubes differentiated from the C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Acetylcholine Receptor Clustering elicited by Recombinant Rat Agrin (16 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Rat MuSK Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF562). The ND50 is typically 0.5-2 µg/mL.

Preparation and Storage
- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.
- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
- 6 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Background: MuSK
MuSK (Muscle-Specific Kinase) is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in muscle that regulates the formation of the neuromuscular junction. It binds the heparin sulfate proteoglycan Agrin to promote Acetylcholine Receptor clustering.
