Other Names | Alpha-1, 3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, N-glycosyl-oligosaccharide-glycoprotein N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I, GNT-I, GlcNAc-T I, MGAT1, GGNT1, GLCT1, GLYT1, MGAT |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP2406b was selected from the C-term region of human MGAT1 . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Background
There are believed to be over 100 different glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of protein-bound and lipid-bound oligosaccharides. MGAT1 (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:alpha-3-D-mannoside beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I) is a medial-Golgi enzyme essential for the synthesis of hybrid and complex N-glycans. The protein, encoded by a single exon, shows typical features of a type II transmembrane protein. The protein is believed to be essential for normal embryogenesis.
