PIG-Y Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
PIG-Y antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the center of human PIG-Y. The immunogen is located within amino acids 50 - 100 of PIG-Y.
PIG-Y antibody can be used for detection of PIG-Y by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Despite its predicted molecular weight, PIG-Y often migrates at 28-30 kDa in SDS-PAGE. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Background
PIG-Y Antibody: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipid anchoring is an important post-translational modification of proteins that takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum. The synthesis of GPI is initiated by GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT), a complex of proteins including PIG-A, PIG-H, PIG-C, GPI1, and DPM2. PIG-Y, the mammalian homolog to yeast Eri1p, is also thought to be involved in the biosynthesis of GPI. The PIG-Y gene encodes two proteins, one of which arises from leaky scanning of the mRNA.
