HS3ST5 Antibody

HS3ST5 is the rate limiting enzyme for synthesis of HSact. It performs the crucial step modification in the biosynthesis of anticoagulant heparan sulfate (HSact) that is to complete the structure of the antithrombin pentasaccharide binding site. HS3ST5 also generates GlcUA-GlcNS or IdoUA-GlcNS and IdoUA2S-GlcNH2. The substrate-specific O-sulfation generates an enzyme-modified heparan sulfate which acts as a binding receptor to Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and permits its entry.HS3ST5 belongs to a group of heparan sulfate 3-O-sulfotransferases (EC 2.8.2.23) that transfer sulfate from 3-prime-phosphoadenosine 5-prime phosphosulfate (PAPS) to heparan sulfate and heparin (Mochizuki et al., 2003 [PubMed 12740361]) .

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store HS3ST5 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

HS3ST5 antibody can be used for detection of HS3ST5 by ELISA at 1:1562500. HS3ST5 antibody can be used for detection of HS3ST5 by western blot at 0.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
