Target/Specificity | This GNMT antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 218-248 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human GNMT. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
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. |
Precautions | GNMT Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GNMT (HGNC:4415) |
---|---|
Function | Catalyzes the methylation of glycine by using S- adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to form N-methylglycine (sarcosine) with the concomitant production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), a reaction regulated by the binding of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Plays an important role in the regulation of methyl group metabolism by regulating the ratio between S-adenosyl-L-methionine and S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P13255}. |
Tissue Location | Expressed only in liver, pancreas, and prostate. |

Background
Glycine N-methyltransferase catalyzes the synthesis of N-methylglycine (sarcosine) from glycine using S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) as the methyl donor. GNMT acts as an enzyme to regulate the ratio of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) and participates in the detoxification pathway in liver cells.
