General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-08605) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human UGT8, targeting the amino acid region 38–402 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human UGT8 from mouse and rat. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. UGT8, also known as galacotosylceramide synthase or CGT (ceramide galactosyltransferase), is a key enzyme for galacotosylceramide (GalCer) biosynthesis. It is an ER transmembrane protein and has limited tissue distribution, with predominance in Schwann cells, oligodendrocytes, kidneys, testes, and intestine. UGT8 is highly enriched in myelin in the central nervous system. Its expression levels are strongly associated with histological typing in human oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas; can be used as molecular marker to distinguish these tumors. Higher UGT8 levels had also been linked to metastatic properties of cancer cells.
DPABH-08605 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:500–1:2,000), IP (0.5-4.0 μg for 1.0-3.0 mg of total protein lysate), IHC (1:20–1:200) applications.
DPABH-08605 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.
