Neuroligin 1/NLGN1 Antibody

Western blot shows lysates of rat embryonic cortical neurons, rat embryonic hippocampal neurons, and human brain (cortex) tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti‑Rat Neuroligin 1/NLGN1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4340) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Neuroligin 1/NLGN1 at approximately 117 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.

Neuroligin 1/NLGN1 was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of rat brain (cortex) using Sheep Anti‑Rat Neuroligin 1/NLGN1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4340) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL010) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to neuronal cell bodies, processes, and dendritic spines. View our protocol for Fluorescent IHC Staining of Frozen Tissue Sections.

Background

Neuroligin 1 (neurexin ligand 1; also NL1) is a 116 kDa member of the type-B carboxyesterase/lipase family of proteins. It is postsynaptically expressed on neurons and initiates excitatory presynapse maturation through binding to a select isoform of beta -neurexin. Mature rat NL1 is 798 amino acids (aa) in length. It is expressed as a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains a 652 aa extracellular domain (ECD) (aa 46‑697) and a 125 aa cytoplasmic tail. The ECD possesses a nonfunctional esterase homology domain (aa 54‑612). Rat NL1 has at least three alternate splice forms. One shows a deletion of aa 165‑184 plus aa 298‑306, while the remaining two show deletions of either aa 165‑184, or aa 298‑306, respectively. Rat ECD shares 97% and 93% aa identity with mouse and human NL1 CED, respectively.
