MyBioSource.com's GLB1 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Western Blot. The GLB1 Antibody was generated using beta Galactosidase, Bgs, galactosidase beta 1, GLB1, and MPS4B as the antigen and it reacts with Human, and Mouse.
Description
Cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans. soform 2 has no beta-galactosidase catalytic activity, but plays functional roles in the formation of extracellular elastic fibers (elastogenesis) and in the development of connective tissue. Seems to be identical to the elastin-binding protein (EBP), a major component of the non-integrin cell surface receptor expressed on fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, chondroblasts, leukocytes, and certain cancer cell types. In elastin producing cells, associates with tropoelastin intracellularly and functions as a recycling molecular chaperone which facilitates the secretions of tropoelastin and its assembly into elastic fibers.Oshima A., Biochem.
