PIG-Y Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by PIGY (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Y)is part of the GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GIP-GnT) complex which initiates the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). GPI is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and serves as an anchor for many surface proteins. Proteins containing GPI anchors can have an important role in cell-cell interactions. The transcript for PIGY is bicistronic. The downstream open reading frame encodes this GPI-GnT complex protein, while the upstream open reading frame encodes a protein with unknown function, as represented by GeneID: 100996939.

The PIG-Y Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and sensitive antibody that has been developed for use in various research applications. This antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region of the PIG-Y protein. The PIG-Y protein is a member of the GPI-anchor biosynthesis pathway and is involved in the transfer of GPI anchors to proteins.

The PIG-Y Polyclonal Antibody has been extensively validated for use in Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence assays. It has been shown to specifically recognize the PIG-Y protein in a variety of cell types and tissues. This antibody has also been shown to have minimal cross-reactivity with other proteins, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

The PIG-Y Polyclonal Antibody is supplied as a purified IgG fraction, which has been affinity-purified using a PIG-Y peptide column. This ensures high specificity and sensitivity of the antibody. The antibody is provided in a liquid format and can be stored at -20°C for long-term use.

In summary, the PIG-Y Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and sensitive antibody that is ideal for use in various research applications. Its high specificity and sensitivity make it an excellent tool for studying the function of the PIG-Y protein in various biological processes.
