CHST14 Antibody

CHST14 belongs to the sulfotransferase 2 family. CHST14 catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 4 of the N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residue of dermatan sulfate. It transfers sulfate to the C-4 hydroxyl of beta1,4-linked GalNAc that is substituted with an alpha-linked iduronic acid (IdoUA) at the C-3 hydroxyl. It transfers sulfate more efficiently to GalNAc residues in -IdoUA-GalNAc-IdoUA- than in -GlcUA-GalNAc-GlcUA-sequences. CHST14 has preference for partially desulfated dermatan sulfate. Addition of sulfate to GalNAc may occur immediately after epimerization of GlcUA to IdoUA.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store CHST14 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

CHST14 antibody can be used for detection of CHST14 by ELISA at 1:312500. CHST14 antibody can be used for detection of CHST14 by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
