Bioactivity | alpha-1,3-Galactosyltransferase (GTB) (alpha 1,3GT) catalyzes the synthesis of the xenoantigen or α-galactose (α-Gal) epitope. alpha-1,3-Galactosyltransferase (GTB) transfers galactose from UDP-Gal to type 1 or type 2, αFuc1→2βGal-R (H)-terminating acceptors[1]. |
Name | alpha-1,3-Galactosyltransferase (GTB) |
CAS | 37257-33-3 |
Transport | Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere. |
Storage | Please store the product under the recommended conditions in the Certificate of Analysis. |
