GALNT10 Antibody

GALNT10 Antibody: Protein glycosylation is an important biological process that is carried out by a large family of glycosyltransferases that catalyze the synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. Polypeptide GalNAc transferases initiate the synthesis of mucin-type oligosaccharides by transferring GalNAc from UDP-GalNAc to the hydroxyl group of either a serine or threonine residue on the polypeptide acceptor. Polypeptide galactoaminyltransferase 10 (GALNT10) belongs to the polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyl-transferase (pp-GalNAc-T) protein family. Following expression in insect cells, recombinant GALNT10 showed significant GalNAcT activity toward mucin-derived peptides, and it utilized both non-glycosylated and glycosylated peptide substrates. GALNT10 mRNA is highly expressed in several distinct hypothalamic, thalamic, and amygdaloid nuclei in mouse brain. At least four isoforms of GALNT10 are known to exist.

GALNT10 antibody can be stored at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
