Target/Specificity | This UGP2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 467-497 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human UGP2. |
Dilution | WB~~1:2000 IHC-P~~1:10~50 |
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 | UGP2 Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | UGP2 (HGNC:12527) |
---|---|
Function | UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase catalyzing the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into UDP-glucose, a crucial precursor for the production of glycogen. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in various brain regions. Expressed in amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, caudate, cerebellar hemisphere, cerebellum, cortex, frontal cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, nucleus accumbens, putamen, spinal cord and substantia nigra (PubMed:31820119). Also widely expressed among other tissues, including liver, heart, placenta, lung, kidney, pancreas and skeletal muscle (PubMed:8354390, PubMed:8631325). |

Background
UGP2 is an important intermediary in mammalian carbohydrate interconversions. It transfers a glucose moiety from glucose-1-phosphate to MgUTP and forms UDP-glucose and MgPPi. In liver and muscle tissue,UDP-glucose is a direct precursor of glycogen; in lactating mammary gland it is converted to UDP-galactose which is then converted to lactose. The eukaryotic enzyme has no significant sequence similarity to the prokaryotic enzyme.
