Active Recombinant Human GCNT2 protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: GCNT2-01H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human GCNT2 protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in CHO.

Specification

• 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.
• Form: Supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution in Tris and NaCl.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to transfer GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to Cy5-labeled Extended G2.
  0.25 μg of Recombinant Human GCNT2 will convert >50% of its substrate to product, as measured under the described conditions.
• Molecular Mass: Predicted Molecular Mass: 43.8 kDa
  SDS-PAGE: 53-67 kDa, reducing conditions
• N-terminal Sequence Analysis: Asn26
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
