Rabbit POMT2 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-POMT2 antibody
POMT2 Antibody (C-term)
O-mannosyltransferase that requires interaction with the product of
the POMT1 gene for enzymatic function. The encoded protein is found
in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Defects in this gene
are a cause of Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS).

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is an O-mannosyltransferase that requires interaction with the product of the POMT1 gene for enzymatic function. The encoded protein is found in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Defects in this gene are a cause of Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS).[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
Uniprot Description
POMT2: Transfers mannosyl residues to the hydroxyl group of serine or threonine residues. Coexpression of both POMT1 and POMT2 is necessary for enzyme activity, expression of either POMT1 or POMT2 alone is insufficient. Defects in POMT2 are the cause of muscular dystrophy- dystroglycanopathy congenital with brain and eye anomalies type A2 (MDDGA2); also called Walker-Warburg syndrome or muscle-eye-brain disease POMT2-related. MDDGA2 is a autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy associated with cobblestone lissencephaly and other brain anomalies, eye malformations, profound mental retardation, and death usually in the first years of life. Included diseases are the more severe Walker-Warburg syndrome and the slightly less severe muscle-eye-brain disease. Defects in POMT2 are the cause of muscular dystrophy- dystroglycanopathy congenital with mental retardation type B2 (MDDGB2); also called muscular dystrophy congenital POMT2-related. MDDGB2 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy associated with mental retardation and mild structural brain abnormalities. Defects in POMT2 are the cause of muscular dystrophy- dystroglycanopathy limb-girdle type C2 (MDDGC2); also called limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2N (LGMD2N) or muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy limb-girdle POMT2-related (MDGD2C). MDDGC2 is an autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy with onset after ambulation is achieved. MDDGC2 is characterized by increased serum creatine kinase and mild muscle weakness. Muscle biopsy shows dystrophic changes, inflammatory changes, and severely decreased alpha-dystroglycan. Cognition is normal. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 39 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The POMT2 pomt2 (Catalog #AAA9204753) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 540-567. The POMT2 Antibody (C-term) reacts with Human (Predicted Reactivity: Mouse) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's POMT2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). WB~~1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the POMT2 pomt2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "POMT2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
