General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-18130) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human B4GALNT2, targeting the amino acid region 497–566 of the protein. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. B4GALNT2, also named as GALGT2, catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of the human Sd(a) antigen, which is found on more than 90% of Caucasian red blood cells. It also catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of the Cad antigen, which is related both serologically and biochemically to the Sd(a) antigen. B4GALNT2 transfers a beta-1,4-linked GalNAc to the galactose residue of an alpha-2,3-sialylated chain.
DPABH-18130 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:500–1:2,000), IHC (1:600–1:2,400) applications.
DPABH-18130 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
