A4GALT ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein alpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase (P blood group), which is encoded by the A4GALT gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the transfer of galactose from UDP-alpha-D-galactose to lactosylceramide/beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1)-ceramide(d18:1(4E)) to produce globotriaosylceramide/globoside Gb3Cer (d18:1(4E)). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 353 residues, a mass of 40.5 kDa, and is a member of the Glycosyltransferase 32 protein family. It is known to be localized in the golgi and is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include A4GALT1, Gb3S, P(k), P1, P1PK, PK, lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase, and A14GALT.
Some A4GALT ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
