SKU:: 170582
Application:: IHC-Fr
Purity:: Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide corresponding to 15aa from the internal region of human GM2A. Species sequence homology: monkey.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.09% sodium azide.
Extra Details:: The protein encoded by this gene is a small glycolipid transport protein which acts as a substrate specific co-factor for the lysosomal enzyme, beta-hexosaminidase A. Beta-hexosaminidase A, together with GM2 ganglioside activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Mutations in this gene result in GM2-gangliosidosis type AB or the AB variant of Tay-Sachs disease. This protein has also been associated with small cell lung carcinoma. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 5ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
