A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of B4 GALNT1 antibody, Alternative Names: B4GALNT1 control peptide, B4GALNT1 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-B4GALNT1 Blocking Peptide, Beta 14-N-Acetyl-Galactosaminyl Transferase 1 Blocking Peptide, GALGT Blocking Peptide, GALNACT Blocking Peptide, B4GAL, BGAL-4, BGAL 4, BGAL-4 Blocking Peptide, BGAL 4 Blocking Peptide
GM2 and GD2 gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids. GalNAc-T is the enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of G(M2) and G(D2) glycosphingolipids. B4GALNT1(GalNAc-T) catalyzes the transfer of GalNAc into G(M3) and G(D3) by a beta-1,4 linkage, resulting in the synthesis of G(M2) and G(D2), respectively.GM2 and GD2 gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids.
