DPAGT1 Antibody

DPAGT1 Antibody: The UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-dolichyl-phosphate N-acetyl-glucosaminephosphotransferase (DPAGT1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide pathway for glycoprotein biosynthesis. Mutations in this integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein enzyme belongs to the glycosyltransferase family 4 results in the congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ij with symptoms such as severe hypotonia, medically intractable seizures, mental retardation, microcephaly, and exotropia. Recent experiments have shown that DPAGT1 is a target of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, with Wnt3a inducing higher DPAGT1 mRNA expression.

DPAGT1 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.

At least four isoforms of DPAGT1 are known to exist; this antibody will recognize the two longest isoforms. DPAGT1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with UHRF1BP1.
