Reactivity Human
Relevance GalNAc-T1 is one of many polypeptide GalNAc-transferases that
attach GalNAc to proteins forming the GalNAc1-O-Ser/Thr
linkage for GalNAc-type O-glycosylation. The GalNAc-transferase
isoforms have considerably overlapping functions as well as
unique distinct functions. GalNAc-T1 and –T2 are the main
contributors to O-glycosylation of peptides in most cells and they
have distinct functions. Murine knock out studies demonstrate
that GalNAc-T1 plays important roles in B-cell differentiation.
GalNAc-T1 has also been implicated in carcinogenesis.
O-glycans are important biomarkers in cancer. The truncated
O-glycans comprising Tn formed by the GalNAc transferases and
T formed by further elongation by the core1 synthase (C1GalT1)
are widely recognized as pancarcinoma antigens. They are
masked by sialic acid or further elongation or branching in
normal cells.


Validation:
1. Positive reaction (IC/IF) in cells expressing GalNAc-T1
using close isoforms as negative controls e.g. GalNAc-T13.
2. Selective IP of active GalNAc-T1 from total cell extracts.
3. Distinct perinuclear staining in cell lines (ICC/IF) and tissues
(IHC, IF) suggestive of Golgi localization.
4. loss of staining (IC/IF) following KO of GalNAc-T1
Host Mouse
Immunogen Catalytically active secreted GalNAc-T1 produced in insect cells. Recombinant protein containing aa. 41-559 (Uniprot isoform-1)
Immunogen UniProt ID Q10472
Subclass IgG1
Strain Balb/c
Notes UH3 4D8 can be used to probe subcellular topology of active GalNAc-T1 in cells, tissues and body fluids.

UH3 4D8 tolerates fixation in ice-cold acetone and paraformaldehyde (but not methanol). UH3 4D8 does not tolerate routine FFPE methods used for histopathological archives. Incubation time is usually 2 hrs or ON.

Reactivity can be easily tested by IC on air-dried, acetone fixed cells i.e. air-dry cells in PBS on multi-well slides and fix in ice-cold acetone for 8-10 min followed by drying and incubation with primary antibody.
