Further Information
Applications Description:
Antibody can be used for Western blotting (5-10?g/ml) and ELISA. Other applications not yet tested. Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.
Background:
May serve as a flippase as well as a glucosyltransferase that transfers glucose to ceramide. It Catalzes; UDP-glucose + N-acylsphingosine = UDP + D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine. Ceramide Glycosyltransferase is the first step in the Glycosphingolipid synthesis; first glycosylation step. Glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT) and lactosylceramide synthase (GalT) are key enzymes for the synthesis of major glycosphingolipids of vertebrates.
