Quick Overview for PIGY antibody (C-Term) (ABIN6991028)

Target: PIGY (Phosphatidylinositol Glycan Anchor Biosynthesis, Class Y (PIGY))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This PIGY antibody is un-conjugated

Application: ELISA, Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Product Details anti-PIGY Antibody

Binding Specificity: C-Term

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

Purification: PIG-Y Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

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.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: PIG-Y antibody can be used for detection of PIG-Y by Western blot at 5 μ,g/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 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/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.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for PIGY

Target: PIGY (Phosphatidylinositol Glycan Anchor Biosynthesis, Class Y (PIGY))

Alternative Name: PIG-Y

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.
