General description
Agrin C-terminal human recombinant is expressed in human HEK 293 cells as a glycoprotein with a calculated molecular mass of 87 kDa (amino acids Ala1260-Pro2045, with an N-terminal His tag). The DTT-reduced protein migrates as a ∼100 kDa polypeptide on SDS-PAGE due to glycosylation. This protein is manufactured in human cells, with no serum. The human cells expression system allows human-like glycosylation and folding, and often supports higher bioactivity of the protein.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Agrin is a large extracellular heparan sulfate proteoglycan that is involved in the formation of the neuromuscular junction.
Agrin triggers the aggregation of acetylcholine receptors via the muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) and the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (Lrp4) receptor complex.
Agrin is required for the full regenerative capacity of neonatal mouse hearts.
Recombinant agrin has been shown in vitro to promote cardiomyocyte proliferation, as studied in mouse-induced and human-induced pluripotent stem cells. Recombinant agrin has been shown in vivo to promote cardiac regeneration, after induction of myocardial infarction in adult mice.

During the development of mammalian neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the original supernumerary axon inputs are gradually eliminated, finally leaving each muscle fiber innervated by a single axon terminal. However, the molecular cues that mediate the elimination of redundant axon inputs remain
