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

GNE Overview
Facts about Bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase.
Bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE)
Regulates and initiates biosynthesis of N- acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), a precursor of sialic acids. Plays an important role in early development (By similarity).
Required for normal sialylation in hematopoietic cells. Sialylation is implicated in cell adhesion, signal transduction, tumorigenicity and metastatic behavior of malignant cells.

Tissue Specificity
Highest expression in liver and placenta. Also found in heart, brain, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Isoform 1 is expressed in heart, brain, kidney, liver, placenta, lung, spleen, pancreas, skeletal muscle and colon. Isoform 2 is expressed mainly in placenta, but also in brain, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas and colon. Isoform 3 is expressed at low level in kidney, liver, placenta and colon.
