Description

Introduction to AGP30 Antibody

AGP30 is a histidine-rich arabinogalactan protein (AGP) identified as the first non-classical AGP specifically expressed in plant roots. Unlike classical AGPs, which are broadly distributed, AGP30 plays specialized roles in root regeneration and seed development . Antibodies targeting AGP30 enable researchers to study its localization, structural properties, and functional mechanisms in plant systems.

Biological Role of AGP30

AGP30 contributes to critical developmental processes:

  • Root Regeneration: Essential for apical cell extension and root morphogenesis .

  • Seed Development: Linked to seed viability and germination efficiency .

  • Cell Wall Dynamics: Interacts with plasma membrane components via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, influencing cell wall permeability and signaling .

Methodological Insights

AGP30 detection relies on specialized techniques:

  • Monoclonal Antibodies: LM6 antibody binds (1-5)-α-L-arabinan epitopes on AGP30 glycans, enabling precise localization in root tips .

  • β-Glucosyl Yariv Reagent: Precipitates AGPs for biochemical analysis but may interfere with cell wall dynamics .

  • Immunolabeling: Requires tissue permeabilization (e.g., Triton X-100) to access epitopes at plasma membranes .
