A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of ST3 GAL5 antibody, Alternative Names: ST3GAL5 control peptide, ST3GAL5 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-ST3GAL5 Blocking Peptide, St3 Beta-Galactoside Alpha-23-Sialyltransferase 5 Blocking Peptide, SIAT9 Blocking Peptide, SIATGM3S Blocking Peptide, ST3GalV Blocking Peptide, ST3GAL5, STGAL5-3, STGAL5 3, STGAL5-3 Blocking Peptide, STGAL5 3 Blocking Peptide
Ganglioside GM3 is known to participate in the induction of cell differentiation, modulation of cell proliferation, maintenance of fibroblast morphology, signal transduction, and integrin-mediated cell adhesion. ST3GAL5 is a type II membrane protein which catalyzes the formation of GM3 using lactosylceramide as the substrate. It is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29 and may be localized to the Golgi apparatus. Mutation in its gene has been associated with Amish infantile epilepsy syndrome.
