Rabbit ALG8 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-ALG8 antibody
ALG8 Antibody (N-term)
glucosyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the
addition of the second glucose residue to the lipid-linked
oligosaccharide precursor for N-linked glycosylation of proteins.
Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital
disorder of glycosylation type Ih (CDG-Ih). Alternatively spliced
transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been
identified.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the ALG6/ALG8 glucosyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of the second glucose residue to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor for N-linked glycosylation of proteins. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ih (CDG-Ih). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Uniprot Description
ALG8: Adds the second glucose residue to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor for N-linked glycosylation. Transfers glucose from dolichyl phosphate glucose (Dol-P-Glc) onto the lipid-linked oligosaccharide Glc(1)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol. Defects in ALG8 are the cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1H (CDG1H). CDGs are a family of severe inherited diseases caused by a defect in protein N- glycosylation. They are characterized by under-glycosylated serum proteins. These multisystem disorders present with a wide variety of clinical features, such as disorders of the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders, and immunodeficiency. The broad spectrum of features reflects the critical role of N-glycoproteins during embryonic development, differentiation, and maintenance of cell functions. Belongs to the ALG6/ALG8 glucosyltransferase family.

Product Notes
The ALG8 alg8 (Catalog #AAA9210308) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 15-41. The ALG8 Antibody (N-term) reacts with Human (Predicted Reactivity: Bovine, Mouse) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ALG8 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 ALG8 alg8 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 "ALG8, 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
