Related Product Information for anti-GCNT2 antibody
Belonging to the glycosyltransferase 14 family, GCNT2 (glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 2, I-branching enzyme (I blood group)), also known as II, N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, IGNT, CCAT, ULG3, GCNT5, GCNT2C or NACGT1, is a 400 amino acid glycosyltransferase that localizes to the Golgi apparatus. Other members of the glycosyltransferase 14 family include GCNT1, GCNT3, GCNT4, GCNT6 and GCNT7. A single-pass type II membrane protein, GCNT2 functions as a branching enzyme known as beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, which converts fetal i antigen to adult I antigen in erythrocytes during embryonic development. With expression levels increasing significantly during oncogenesis and development, GCNT2 is found at highest levels in adult prostate and fetal brain, and is found at low levels in heart, small intestine, colon, brain, pancreas and kidney.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for formation of the blood group I antigen. The i and I antigens are distinguished by linear and branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans, respectively. The encoded protein is the I-branching enzyme, a beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase responsible for the conversion of fetal i antigen to adult I antigen in erythrocytes during embryonic development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with adult i blood group phenotype. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

GCNT2A: Branching enzyme that converts linear into branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans. Introduces the blood group I antigen during embryonic development. It is closely associated with the development and maturation of erythroid cells. The expression of the blood group I antigen in erythrocytes is determined by isoform C. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 14 family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing

Protein type: EC 2.4.1.150

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6p24.2

Product Notes

The GCNT2 gcnt2 (Catalog #AAA3015290) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GCNT2 Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Horse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GCNT2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS/FCM). FC/FACS/FCM: 1ug/test. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GCNT2 gcnt2 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 "GCNT2, 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.
