Anti-N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase, alpha and beta subunits antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase, alpha and beta subunits antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the GNPTAB gene, which encodes N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase subunits alpha and beta. This protein is known to catalyze the formation of mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) markers on high mannose type oligosaccharides in the Golgi apparatus. The human version of N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase, alpha and beta subunits has a canonical amino acid length of 1256 residues and a protein mass of 143.6 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the Golgi of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase subunits alpha/beta, GlcNAc phosphotransferase, and N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase alpha, and beta subunits.
