Unconjugated Rabbit anti-Human, Rat B3GAT1/CD57 Polyclonal Antibody [IgG]

NK1; CD57; HNK1; LEU7; NK-1; GLCATP; GLCUATP; Galactosylgalactosylxylosylprotein 3-beta-glucuronosyltransferase 1; Beta-1,3-glucuronyltransferase 1; Glucuronosyltransferase P; GlcAT-P; UDP-GlcUA:glycoprotein beta-1,3-glucuronyltransferase; GlcUAT-P; B3GAT1

Involved in the biosynthesis of L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope on glycoproteins. Can also play a role in glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis. Substrates include asialo-orosomucoid (ASOR), asialo-fetuin, and asialo-neural cell adhesion molecule. Requires sphingomyelin for activity: stearoyl-sphingomyelin was the most effective, followed by palmitoyl-sphingomyelin and lignoceroyl-sphingomyelin. Activity was demonstrated only for sphingomyelin with a saturated fatty acid and not for that with an unsaturated fatty acid, regardless of the length of the acyl group (By similarity).
