Chst2 Antibody - middle region: FITC (ARP46422_P050-FITC)

Chst2 catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of non-reducing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues within keratan-like structures on N-linked glycans and within mucin-associated glycans that can ultimately serve as L-selectin ligands. L-selectin ligands are present in high endothelial cells (HEVs) and play a central role in lymphocyte homing at sites of inflammation. Chst2 participates in biosynthesis of L-selectin ligand sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X and in lymphocyte homing to Peyer patches. It has no activity toward O-linked sugars. Its substrate specificity may be influenced by its subcellular location. It sulfates GlcNAc residues at terminal, non-reducing ends of oligosaccharide chains.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
