Alias: DRG11-Responsive Axonal Guidance and Neurotrophic Growth Factor, DRAGON
Assay Method: ELISA
Assay Type: Sandwich
Detection Range: 0.312-20 ng/mL
Sensitivity: 0.166 ng/mL
Specificity: Natural and recombinant human RGM domain family member B
Sample Types: Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants, and other biological fluids
Subunit:Homooligomer (By similarity). Interacts with DRGX (By similarity). Interacts with BMP2 and BMP4 (By similarity). Interacts with the BMP type I receptors ACVR1,
BMPR1A and BMPR1B and with the BMP type II receptor ACVR2B (By similarity). The functional complex with its receptor NEO1/neogenin appears to be a heterotetramer with a 2:2 stoichiometry,
RGM molecules acting as staples that brings two NEO1 receptors together without interacting themselves, this arrangement leads to activation of downstream signaling via RhoA.
Function:Member of the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family that contributes to the patterning of the developing nervous system (By similarity).
Acts as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) coreceptor that potentiates BMP signaling (By similarity). Promotes neuronal adhesion (By similarity). May inhibit neurite outgrowth.
Subcellular Location:Cell membrane Lipid-anchor GPI-anchor Membrane raft
