Anti-POMGNT1 Antibody Picoband®

Protein O-linked-mannose beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POMGNT1 gene. This gene encodes a type II transmembrane protein that resides in the Golgi apparatus. It participates in O-mannosyl glycosylation and is specific for alpha linked terminal mannose. Mutations in this gene may be associated with muscle-eye-brain disease and several congenital muscular dystrophies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described.

E.coli-derived human POMGNT1 recombinant protein (Position: R96-E394) . Human POMGNT1 shares 99.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat POMGNT1.
