Anti-GALNT12

Polyclonal Antibody against Human GALNT12, Gene description: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 12, Alternative Gene Names: GalNAc-T12, Validated applications: ICC, Uniprot ID: Q8IXK2, Storage: Store at +4°C for short term storage. Long time storage is recommended at -20°C. Protein function: Catalyzes the initial reaction in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor. Has activity toward non-glycosylated peptides such as Muc5AC, Muc1a and EA2, and no detectable activity with Muc2 and Muc7. Displays enzymatic activity toward the Gal-NAc-Muc5AC glycopeptide, but no detectable activity to mono-GalNAc-glycosylated Muc1a, Muc2, Muc7 and EA2. May play an important role in the initial step of mucin-type oligosaccharide biosynthesis in digestive organs. [The UniProt Consortium] Mouse gene identity: 82% Rat gene identity: 82%
