Rabbit anti-Human GALNT11 Polyclonal Antibody, HRP conjugated

Uniprot Id

Q8NCW6

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GALNT11

Target Full Name

Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 11

Target Function

Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase that catalyzes the initiation of protein O-linked glycosylation and is involved in left/right asymmetry by mediating O-glycosylation of NOTCH1. O-glycosylation of NOTCH1 promotes activation of NOTCH1, modulating the balance between motile and immotile (sensory) cilia at the left-right organiser (LRO). Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases catalyze the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor. Displays the same enzyme activity toward MUC1, MUC4, and EA2 than GALNT1. Not involved in glycosylation of erythropoietin (EPO).

Target Involvement

Defects in GALNT11 may be a cause of heterotaxy, a congenital heart disease resulting from abnormalities in left-right (LR) body patterning.

Target Subcellular Location

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Glycosyltransferase 2 family, GalNAc-T subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in kidney. Expressed at intermediate level in brain, heart and skeletal muscle. Weakly expressed other tissues. In kidney, it is strongly expressed in tubules but not expressed in glomeruli.
