BCAS1 is a protein specific for an actively myelinating oligodendrocyte subpopulation
Rabbit monoclonal recombinant IgG
Cat. No.: 445 008
Amount: 50 µg

Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the monoclonal mouse antibody SY-203G7. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced with rabbit specific sequences. The antibody can therefore be used with standard anti-rabbit secondary reagents. The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells.

Background

Breast carcinoma-amplified sequence 1 (BCAS1) was originally identified as a potential oncogene amplified in human cancer cell lines (1). It is also highly expressed in brain (2) where it mainly defines an oligodendroglial subpopulation occuring at regions of active myelin formation (3).
In fetal brain BCAS1 positive oligodendrocytes are restricted to the white matter. In adult brains they persist in the grey matter until old age (3).
