Description

General description

Myocilin (mutated trabecular meshwork-induced glucocorticoid response protein) is encoded by the MYOC gene (also known as GLC1A, GPOA, JOAG, JOAG1, TIGR) in human (Entrez Gene ID 4653). Myocilin is produced as a 504 amino acid glycoprotein containing an N-terminal hydrophobic signal peptide sequence, a coiled-coiled leucine zipper domain, and a C-terminal domain with homology to olfactomedins. Myocilin is commonly identified as a 53/57 kDa doublet by gel electrophoresis, and a 66 kDa form of the protein is also reported. Myocilin is known to undergo intracellular endoproteolytic cleavage between Glu214 and Leu215, resulting in a 20 kDa N-terminal and a 35 kDa C-terminal fragment. Myocilin is identified as a Lingo-1 receptor ligand and MYOC gene mutations are linked to 10% of juvenile open-angle glaucoma cases and 3-4% of those with primary open-angle glaucoma (PMID 24732711 24741044, 24837143). Cat. No. MABN866, clone 7.1 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes an epitope within the N-terminal fragment (aa33-214) and is demonstrated to be suitable for Western blotting, immuncytochemistry, and immunhistochemistry applications. This clone is reactive toward both human and murine species. (PMID 18674535 & 23979599).
