Anti-GALNT16 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 16. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 558 amino acid residues and a mass of 63.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the Golgi. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Glycosyltransferase 2 protein family, GALNT16 is known to catalyze the initial reaction in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor. Synonyms for this target antigen include UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 16, UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-like 1, and UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-like protein 1. GALNT16 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 GALNT16 antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
