ST8SIA1 Antibody (N-Term) [APR33542G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This ST8SIA1 antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 53-84 amino acids from human ST8SIA1.

Cellular Localisation: Golgi apparatus membrane; Single- pass type II membrane protein

Molecular Weight: 40519

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: ST8SIA1

Gene ID: 6489

Function: Catalyzes the addition of sialic acid in alpha 2, 8-linkage to the sialic acid moiety of the ganglioside GM3 to form ganglioside GD3; gangliosides are a subfamily of complex glycosphinglolipds that contain one or more residues of sialic acid (PubMed:7937974, PubMed:8058740, PubMed:8195250, PubMed:8631981, PubMed:8706663, PubMed:18348864, PubMed:22885356) . Can catalyze the addition of a second alpha-2, 8- sialic acid to GD3 to form GT3 (PubMed:8631981) . Can use GM1b, GD1a and GT1b as acceptor substrates to synthesize GD1c, GT1a and GQ1b respectively (PubMed:8706663) . Can synthesize unusual tetra- and pentasialylated lactosylceramide derivatives identified as GQ3 (II3Neu5Ac4-Gg2Cer) and GP3 (II3Neu5Ac5-Gg2Cer) in breast cancer cells (PubMed:22885356) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Strongly expressed in melanoma cell lines, adult and fetal brain and to a lesser extent in adult and fetal lung
