Anti-ALG5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein ALG5 dolichyl-phosphate beta-glucosyltransferase. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 324 amino acid residues and a mass of 36.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in the pancreas, placenta, liver, heart, brain, kidney, skeletal muscle, and lung. A member of the Glycosyltransferase 2 protein family, ALG5 is known to be required for the assembly of lipid-linked oligosaccharides in kidney epithelial cells, and protein N-glycosylation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include bA421P11.2, dolichyl-phosphate beta-glucosyltransferase, Alg5, S. cerevisiae, homolog of, and PKD7. ALG5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the ALG5 antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
