Designing an IHC experiment for GCNT3? 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.
Open the GCNT3 IHC GuideFacts about Beta-1,3-galactosyl-O-glycosyl-glycoprotein beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 3.
Has also I-branching enzyme activity by converting linear into branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans, leading to introduce the blood group I antigen during embryonic development. .
