Gene Information

Specificity

Binds to the main immunogenic region on the extracellular surface of the α1 subunit of muscle AChR′s and to homologous regions on α3 and α5 subunits of neuronal AChR′s. The epitope is located on the extracellular surface of the α1 subunit of the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. The antibody binds to denatured chick α5 AChR, but does not bind well to denatured α3, α4, α7, α8, and β2. It may also bind β3 due to homology of main immunogenic region. May be used to localize and detect the α1, α3 and α5 subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR).

Immunogen

nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from the electric eel Electrophorus.

Physical form

Solution in 20 mM Na3PO4, pH 7.2, containing 150 mM NaCl and 0.05 % sodium azide.

Immunohistochemical studies have previously shown that both the chick brain and chick ciliary ganglion neurons contain a component which shares antigenic determinants with the main immunogenic region of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from electric organ and skeletal muscle. Here we

Adrenal chromaffin cells contain at least two subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). These studies were designed to identify and characterize the subtype of nAChR mediating adrenal catecholamine release using the monoclonal antibody mAb35, which recognizes the alpha-subunit of muscle

Mutations in AChR subunits, expressed as pentamers in neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), cause various types of congenital myasthenic syndromes. In AChR pentamers, the adult ε subunit gradually replaces the embryonic γ subunit as the animal develops. Because of this switch in

The acetylcholine receptor (AChR) alpha 5 gene has been classified as a member of the AChR gene family based on sequence homology. Expression studies, however, have yet to identify a function for the alpha 5 gene product or even to

The main immunogenic region (MIR) of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is the target for the majority of high-affinity autoantibodies produced in myasthenia gravis patients. Some monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to the MIR bind specifically, but with low affinity, to synthetic AChR
