PIG-Y Antibody | 4945 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Homology: Predicted species reactivity based on immunogen sequence: Bovine: (87%)

Immunogen: PIG-Y antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human PIG-Y.
The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of PIG-Y.

Research Area: Homeostasis

Tested Application: E, WB, IHC-P, IF

Application: PIG-Y antibody can be used for detection of PIG-Y by Western blot at 5 μg/mL. Despite its predicted molecular weight, PIG-Y often migrates at 28-30 kDa in SDS-PAGE. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 μg/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μg/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples; Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Specificiy: This antibody only detects isoform 1 of PIG-Y.

User Note: Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher.

BACKGROUND: PIG-Y Antibody: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipid anchoring is an important post-translational modification of proteins that takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum. The synthesis of GPI is initiated by GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) , a complex of proteins including PIG-A, PIG-H, PIG-C, GPI1, and DPM2. PIG-Y, the mammalian homolog to yeast Eri1p, is also thought to be involved in the biosynthesis of GPI. The PIG-Y gene encodes two proteins, one of which arises from leaky scanning of the mRNA.
