Anti-UGT1A5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 534 amino acid residues and a mass of 60.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the UDP-glycosyltransferase protein family, UGT1A5 is reported to be a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) that catalyzes phase II biotransformation reactions in which lipophilic substrates are conjugated with glucuronic acid to increase the metabolite's water solubility, thereby facilitating excretion into either the urine or bile. Synonyms for this target antigen include UDPGT 1-5, UGT1E, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A5, UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A5, and UDPGT. A number of UGT1A5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
