General description

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) or nerve/glial antigen 2 (NG2) is a growth-inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) produced after spinal cord injury. It has a single glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain. The protein belongs to the transmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans family.

Immunogen

cell extract of HEK293 cells expressing the D3 domain of rat NG2.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) or nerve/glial antigen 2 (NG2) stimulates the activation of integrins in dorsal root ganglion neurons. It also has a role in stimulating inflammatory cytokine expression in microglia.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
