Anti-GALT antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 379 amino acid residues and a mass of 43.4 kDa. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase type 1 protein family, GALT is known to play an important role in galactose metabolism. The GALT gene has been associated with the disease, Galactosemia. Synonyms for this target antigen include gal-1-P uridylyltransferase, galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, and UDP-glucose--hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. GALT gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of GALT antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
