INTRODUCTION
Core 1 Beta3-Gal-T1 also known as, C1GALT1 creates the common core 1 O-glycan structure, Gal-beta-1-3GalNAc-R, by the transfer of Gal from UDP-Gal to GalNAc-alpha-1-R. Core 1 is a precursor for lots of extended mucin-type O-glycans on cell surface and secreted glycoproteins. Studies in mice have shown that this gene takes a main role in angiogenesis, thrombopoiesis and kidney homeostasis.
DESCRIPTION
C1GALT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 357 amino acids (30-363 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 41.4kDa.
C1GALT1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
