GCNT2 Antibodies

AND GCNT2 ELISA kits, GCNT2 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect GCNT2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with GCNT2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop GCNT2 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to GCNT2 by testing them on tissues known to express GCNT2 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the GCNT2 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 3 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Designing an IHC experiment for GCNT2? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

GCNT2 Overview

Facts about N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase.

GCNT2 3D structure. Source: alphafold

N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase (GCNT2)

Branching enzyme that converts linear into branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans. Introduces the blood group I antigen during embryonic development.

It's closely associated with the development and maturation of erythroid cells. .
