Anti-AGRN Antibody

Description

This gene encodes one of several proteins that are critical in the development of the neuromuscular junction NMJ , as identified in mouse knock-out studies. The encoded protein contains several laminin G, Kazal type serine protease inhibitor, and epidermal growth factor domains. Additional post-translational modifications occur to add glycosaminoglycans and disulfide bonds. In one family with congenital myasthenic syndrome affecting limb-girdle muscles, a mutation in this gene was found. provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011
