Anti-ALG8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein ALG8 alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 526 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. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. It is a member of the ALG6/ALG8 glucosyltransferase protein family. The ALG8 gene has been associated with the disease, Congenital disorder of glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include HUSSY-02, asparagine-linked glycosylation 8 alpha-13-glucosyltransferase-like protein, and probable dolichyl pyrophosphate Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase. ALG8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the ALG8 antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
