Not for use in diagnostic procedures._x000D_ Please refer to the attached General ELISA KIT Procedure (sandwich, competitive & Indirect ELISA)_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is expressed in Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes. It inhibits the growth of axons. MAG also has a role in signal transduction pathways and cell adhesion. In complex with the neurite outgrowth inhibitor (Nogo) receptor, MAG acts on neurons via the p75 receptor. It activates and modulates the function of Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA).
