Additional info: | Detects all isoforms of agrin. This antibody recognizes all N1 isoforms but, consistent with the epitope mapping investigations, fails to see the N4 protein. Furthermore, the antibody will detect the X, Y and Z splice variants. Species Crossreactivity: Crossreacts with Mouse and Rat. |
