CGT polyclonal antibody, anti-human, rat

Background:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family. It catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide, a key enzymatic step in the biosynthesis of galactocerebrosides, which are abundant sphingolipids of the myelin membrane of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Research Area: Metabolism

Synonyms: 2-hydroxyacylsphingosine 1-beta-galactosyltransferase , EC 2.4.1.45, Ceramide UDP-galactosyltransferase, Cerebroside synthase, UDP-galactose-ceramide galactosyltransferase

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human AMPK alpha around the phosphorylation site of Thr172. AA range:140-189

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.

Formulation: Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.

Concentration: 1 mg/ml
