B4GALNT2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein beta-1,4-N-acetyl-galactosaminyltransferase 2, which is encoded by the B4GALNT2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be involved in synthesis of the Sd(a) antigen (Sia-alpha2,3-[GalNAc-beta1,4]Gal-beta1,4-GlcNAc), a carbohydrate determinant expressed on erythrocytes, the colonic mucosa and other tissues. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 566 residues, a mass of 63.3 kDa, and is a member of the Glycosyltransferase 2 protein family. It is known to be localized in the golgi and is widely expressed across many tissue types. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The B4GALNT2 gene has been associated with the disease, Sd(a) polyagglutination syndrome. Other alias names for this target include UDP-GalNAc:Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta-R beta1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, beta 1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase/betal,4 GalNAcT/Sda-GalNAcT, and UDP-GalNAc:Neu5Aca2-3Galb-R b1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase.
There are B4GALNT2 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
