Anti-GALNT12 Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of a family of UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases, which catalyze the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to a serine or threonine residue on a polypeptide acceptor in the initial step of O-linked protein glycosylation. Mutations in this gene are associated with an increased susceptibility to colorectal cancer.

E.coli-derived human GALNT12 recombinant protein (Position: E49-Q572) . Human GALNT12 shares 86.8% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse GALNT12.
