Biochem/physiol Actions

Membrane associated guanylate kinase, WW And PDZ domain containing 1 (MAGI-1) interacts with β-catenin. Neuroepithelial cell-transforming gene 1(nNET1) and actin binding proteins act as binding partners of MAGI-1. Interestingly, MAGI-1c is present in nucleus, suggesting that MAGI-1 may participate in the transmission of regulatory signals from the cell surface to the nucleus.

General description

The MAGUK (Membrane Associated Guanylate kinase) family of proteins localize to regions of cell-cell contact, such as tight junctions in epithelial cells and synaptic junctions in neurons. In epithelia, membrane associated guanylate kinase, WW And PDZ domain containing 1 (MAGI-1) is localized at tight junctions and is expressed in three isoforms (MAGI-1a, MAGI-1b, and MAGI-1c). MAGI-1 was first identified in mouse as a protein interacting with K-RasB (Ras-like protein rasB).

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 282-296 of MAGI-1 with a carboxy terminal added cysteine residue conjugated to maleimide-activated KLH. The sequence is conserved in human and mouse.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Specificity

Recognizes rat MAGI-1 by immunoblotting (approx. 170, 130, and 120 kDa) and does not cross react with MAGI-2 or MAGI-3.
