GALNT8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 8, which is encoded by the GALNT8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is suspected to be catalyzes 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. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 637 residues, a mass of 72.9 kDa, and is a member of the Glycosyltransferase 2 protein family. It is known to be localized in the golgi and is widely expressed across many tissue types. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include probable polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 8, GalNAc transferase 8, UDP-GalNAc: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 8, and GALNAC-T8.
