The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-ST8SIA1 antibody has been validated for WB. It is suitable to detect ST8SIA1 in samples from Human, Cow, Dog, Guinea Pig, Horse, Mouse, Rabbit and Rat.
Gangliosides are membrane-bound glycosphingolipids containing sialic acid. Ganglioside GD3 is known to be important for cell adhesion and growth of cultured malignant cells. The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to GM3 to produce gangliosides GD3 and GT3. The encoded protein may be found in the Golgi apparatus and is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
