Active Recombinant Human Glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) Transferase 1, Core 2, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: GCNT1-617H
• Product Overview: RecombinantHuman GCNT1 protein was expressed in Murine myeloma cellline. Arg33-His428,with an N-terminal CD33 signals sequence and a C-terminal 6-His tag.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Mammalian Cells
• Tag: His
• ProteinLength: 33-428 a.a.
• Description: MucintypeO-glycans are initiated with an O-GalNAc attachment to a serine or threoninein a polypeptide. The O-GalNAc residues are subsequently extended by variousglycosyltransferases resulting in different types of O-glycans. Most O-glycanscontain the core 1 structure, Galβ-13GalNAc. GCNT1 convertsthe core 1 O-glycan to core 2 O-glycan, Galβ1-3 (GlcNAcβ1-6) GalNAc, via theaddition of a GlcNAc residue. Various ligand carbohydrates can be formed fromcore 2 branched oligosaccharides.
• Form: Supplied as a 0.2 μmfiltered solution in Tris, NaCl and Brij35.
• N-terminalSequence: Arg33
• MolecularWeight: 47 kDa
• Activity: Measuredby its ability to transfer GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to bovine asialofetuin. Thespecific activity is > 35 pmol/min/μg, as measured under the described conditions.
• Endotoxin Level: <1.0EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.
• SDS-PAGE: 50-57kDa, reducing conditions.
