Anti-UDP-Galactose Transporter Antibody, clone 1H10.1 clone 1H10.1, from mouse

UDP-galactose translocator (UniProt P78381; also known as Solute carrier family 35 member A2, UDP-Gal-Tr, UDP-galactose transporter, UDP-galactose transporter, UGT) is encoded by the SLC35A2 (also known as CDG2M, UGALT, UGT, UGTL) gene (Gene ID 7355) in human. UGT is a multi-pass membrane protein that transports UDP-galactose from the cytosol into the Golgi vesicles where it serves as a glycosyl donor for the generation of glycans. Its short N-terminal region, composed of 35 amino-acid residues, is reported to be crucial for galactosylation of N-glycans. Mutations in SLC35A2 gene are known to reduce UDP-galactose transport that leads to galactose-deficient glycoproteins resulting in developmental delays, hyotonia, ocular anomalies, and brain malfunctions. Higher expression of UGT mRNA has been reported in human colon cancer. Ref.: Ng, BG., et al. (2013). Am. J. Human Gen. 92, 632-636.
