Product details:
Human MOG ELISA kit (
ab277115
) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human MOG protein in human cell and tissue extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human MOG with 1.15 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a 16 kDa protein, mediates homophilic cell-cell adhesion. MOG is a component of the myelin sheath and may be involved in completion and/or maintenance of the myelin sheath and in cell-cell communication. Research indicates MOG acts as a receptor for the rubella virus. MOG shares 86%, 86%, 91%, and 98% sequence homology with mouse, rat, cow, and monkey, respectively.

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) also known as MOG protein or MOG glycoprotein is a lesser-known but important component of the central nervous system myelin. The MOG protein has a molecular mass of approximately 26 to 28 kDa. You will find it expressed on the surface of myelin sheaths and oligodendrocytes. This protein plays a role in the myelination process acting as a potential adhesive molecule or signaling molecule contributing to the stability and integrity of the myelin structure. Oligodendrocyte staining techniques can help visualize the distribution and expression patterns of MOG making it important for research purposes.
Biological function summary
MOG influences the immune response and possibly adhesion between myelin membranes. Although it does not form part of a larger well-defined complex it may interact with other myelin-associated proteins to contribute to myelin construction and maintenance. MOG's involvement in these processes supports myelin sheath formation and function aiding electrical conduction in nerve cells. The protein's exposure on the myelin membrane makes it a possible target for immune attacks hinting at its role in autoimmunity.
Pathways
MOG is involved in immune responses and central nervous system pathways. One significant pathway is the autoimmune pathway where MOG can engage with or be targeted by autoimmune antibodies. It interacts with other proteins like myelin basic protein (MBP) in maintaining myelin structures and influencing immunological functions. This interaction implies that disturbances in these pathways might contribute to numerous neurological disorders.
MOG plays a critical role in conditions such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica. In multiple sclerosis MOG is a target of autoantibodies leading to demyelination and loss of neural function. In neuromyelitis optica MOG antibodies may contribute to severe inflammation and damage in optic nerves and spinal cord. The connection between MOG and these diseases highlights associations with other proteins like aquaporin-4 which are similarly targeted in associated autoimmune responses. Understanding these relationships is key for developing diagnostics or therapies involving MOG ELISA methods to detect MOG-specific antibodies in patient samples.
