---|---|
Other Names | Globoside alpha-1, 3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1, 2.4.1.-, Forssman glycolipid synthase-like protein, GBGT1 |
Target/Specificity | This GBGT1 antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 154-185 amino acids from the Central region of human GBGT1. |
Dilution | WB~~1:2000 |
Format | 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. |
Precautions | GBGT1 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GBGT1 (HGNC:20460) |
---|---|
Function | Has lost the ability to synthesize Forssman glycolipid antigen (FORS1/FG) (PubMed:10506200). Might have acquired an alternative function in glycosphingolipid metabolism, but it remains to be established. It appears to have drifted more slowly than confirmed pseudogenes in the glycosyltransferase 6 family, suggesting that it has remained under evolutionary pressure. |
Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane; Single- pass type II membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in placenta, ovary and peripheral blood leukocyte, whereas it is weakly expressed in liver, thymus, and testis (PubMed:10506200). Expressed in bone marrow erythroid cells (PubMed:23255552) |

Background
Catalyzes the formation of some glycolipid via the addition of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) in alpha-1,3-linkage to some substrate. Glycolipids probably serve for adherence of some pathogens.
