GBGT1 blocking peptide
GBGT1 Blocking Peptide (Center)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a glycosyltransferase that plays a role in the synthesis of Forssman glycolipid (FG), a member of the globoseries glycolipid family. Glycolipids such as FG form attachment sites for the binding of pathogens to cells; expression of this protein may determine host tropism to microorganisms. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
Uniprot Description
GBGT1: Catalyzes the formation of some glycolipid via the addition of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) in alpha-1,3-linkage to some substrate. Glycolipids probably serve for adherence of some pathogens. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 6 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Transferase; EC 2.4.1.88; Glycan Metabolism - glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - globo series
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 9q34.13-q34.3
Biological Process: glycolipid biosynthetic process

Product Notes
The GBGT1 gbgt1 (Catalog #AAA9230618) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GBGT1, Blocking Peptide" 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
