Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: BSG (HGNC:1116)

Gene ID: 682

Function: [Isoform 1]: Essential for normal retinal maturation and development (By similarity) . Acts as a retinal cell surface receptor for NXNL1 and plays an important role in NXNL1-mediated survival of retinal cone photoreceptors (PubMed:25957687) . In association with glucose transporter SLC16A1/GLUT1 and NXNL1, promotes retinal cone survival by enhancing aerobic glycolysis and accelerating the entry of glucose into photoreceptors (PubMed:25957687) . May act as a potent stimulator of IL6 secretion in multiple cell lines that include monocytes (PubMed:21620857) .

Summary: Tissue Location: [Isoform 1]: Retina-specific (PubMed:25957687) . Expressed in retinal cone photoreceptors (at protein level) (PubMed:25957687) . [Isoform 3]: Highly expressed in the bone marrow, fetal liver, lung, testis and thymus.

Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
