Rat MuSK Antibody Summary

Species Reactivity
Rat
Specificity
Detects rat MuSK in direct ELISAs and Western blots.
Source
Polyclonal Goat IgG
Purification
Antigen Affinity-purified
Immunogen
Mouse myeloma cell line NS0-derived recombinant rat MuSK
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with Trehalose. *Small pack size (SP) is supplied either lyophilized or as a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS.
Endotoxin Level
<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the antibody by the LAL method.

Applications

Recommended Concentration
Sample
Western Blot
0.1 µg/mL
Recombinant Rat MuSK
Neutralization
Measured by its ability to neutralize MuSK-dependent acetylcholine receptor clustering on myotubes differentiated from the C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line [Ferns, M.J. et al. (1993) Neuron 11:491]. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.5-2 µg/mL in the presence of 16 ng/mL Recombinant Rat Agrin.

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

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.

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.

Long Name
Muscle-specific Receptor Tyrosine Kinase
Entrez Gene IDs
4593 (Human); 18198 (Mouse); 81725 (Rat); 102127677 (Cynomolgus Monkey)
Alternate Names
EC 2.7.10; EC 2.7.10.1; MGC126323; MGC126324; muscle, skeletal, receptor tyrosine kinase; MuSK; skeletal receptor tyrosine-protein kinase
