Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.)

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the cysteine protease family C13 that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is a member of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transamidase and is thought to be its enzymatic component. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
PIGK: Mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by replacing a protein's C-terminal GPI attachment signal peptide with a pre-assembled GPI. During this transamidation reaction, the GPI transamidase forms a carbonyl intermediate with the substrate protein. Belongs to the peptidase C13 family.
Protein type: EC 3.-.-.-; Protease; Endoplasmic reticulum; Glycan Metabolism - glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis; Membrane protein, integral
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p31.1
Cellular Component: endoplasmic reticulum membrane; membrane; integral to endoplasmic reticulum membrane; GPI-anchor transamidase complex
Molecular Function: protein binding; cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; protein disulfide isomerase activity; GPI-anchor transamidase activity
Biological Process: cellular protein metabolic process; protein folding; attachment of GPI anchor to protein; C-terminal protein lipidation; proteolysis; post-translational protein modification

Product Notes
The PIGK pigk (Catalog #AAA9204608) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 266-297. The GPI8 Antibody (C-term) reacts with Human, mouse (Predicted Reactivity: Bovine) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GPI8 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). WB~~1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PIGK pigk 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 "GPI8, 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
