PIGO Antibody

PIGO is a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) -anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid which contains three mannose molecules in its core backbone. The GPI-anchor is found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. PIGO is involved in the transfer of ethanolaminephosphate (EtNP) to the third mannose in GPI.This gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) -anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid which contains three mannose molecules in its core backbone. The GPI-anchor is found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is involved in the transfer of ethanolaminephosphate (EtNP) to the third mannose in GPI. At least two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store PIGO antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

PIGO antibody can be used for detection of PIGO by ELISA at 1:1562500. PIGO antibody can be used for detection of PIGO by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
