The GM3 Synthase ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of GM3 Synthase in various samples. GM3 Synthase is another term for the ST3GAL5 gene, which encodes the protein, ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 5 in humans. It has been reported that GM3 Synthase plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis and protein glycosylation, among other functions. Structurally, the ST3GAL5 protein is 418 amino acid residues in length and 48 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 3 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the golgi of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include SATI, SATI, and SIAT9. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
