Reactivity Human
Relevance GalNAc-T3 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-T3 is differentially expressed in
normal tissues e.g. pancreas, kidney, reproductive and
gastrointestinal tracts. Genetic deficiency in GalNAc-T3 results in
familial tumoral calcinosis and hyperostosis hyperphosphatemia
syndrome due to lack of O-glycosylation of FGF23, which is a key
regulator of serum phosphate homeostasis. GalNAc-T3 has also
been implicated in spermatogenesis and 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-T3
using close isoforms as negative controls e.g. GalNAc-T6.
2. Selective IP of active GalNAc-T3 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-T3.
Host Mouse
Immunogen Catalytically active secreted GalNAc-T3 produced in insect cells. Recombinant protein containing aa. 52-633 (Uniprot isoform-1)
Immunogen UniProt ID Q14435
Subclass IgG1
Strain Balb/c
Notes Subcellular topology of active GalNAc-T3 in cells, tissues and
body fluids.

UH5 2D10 tolerates fixation in ice-cold acetone and paraformaldehyde (but not methanol). UH5 2D10 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.
