B4GALNT1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein beta-1,4-N-acetyl-galactosaminyltransferase 1, which is encoded by the B4GALNT1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be involved in biosynthesis of gangliosides GM2, GD2, GT2 and GA2 from GM3, GD3, GT3 and GA3, respectively. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 533 residues, a mass of 58.9 kDa, and is a member of the Glycosyltransferase 2 protein family. It is known to be localized in the golgi. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The B4GALNT1 gene has been associated with the disease, Spastic paraplegia. Other alias names for this target include GALNACT, GalNAc-T, SPG26, GD2 synthase, GM2 synthase, and GALGT.
The detection range for different B4GALNT1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
