Related Product Information for anti-GCNT2 antibody

GCNT2 is the I-branching enzyme, a beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that converts linear into branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans and is 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 3 different isoforms have been described.

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.

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
