- Extra Details:
- Glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway. The enzyme transfers the amide group from L-glutamine to fructose 6-phosphate to form glucosamine 6-phosphate. See GFAT1 (GFPT1). By searching an EST database for sequences related to GFAT1, Oki et al. (1999) identified a cDNA encoding a new GFAT subtype that they called GFAT2. The predicted 682aa human protein shares 76% and 97% similarity to human GFAT1 and mouse Gfat2, respectively. Recombinant GFAT2 exhibited GFAT enzyme activity in vitro. Northern blot analysis revealed that GFAT2 was expressed predominantly as a 3-kb mRNA, although additional transcripts were present in some tissues. The highest levels of expression were observed in heart, placenta, and spinal cord. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
