NAGK Antibody

Primary Antibodies

Blue Ice

37 kDa

N-acetylglucosamine kinase (NAGK) converts endogenous N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), a major component of complex carbohydrates, from lysosomal degradation or nutritional sources into GlcNAc 6-phosphate. NAGK belongs to the group of N-acetylhexosamine kinases and is a prominent salvage enzyme of amino sugar metabolism in mammals. The predicted 344-amino acid NAGK protein contains the 5 sequence motifs necessary for the binding of ATP by sugar kinases. NAGK shares 91.6% amino acid similarity with mouse Nagk, for which enzyme activity is detectable in all mouse tissues examined, with highest enzymatic activity in testis. It is hypothesized that NAGK has a general role in the catabolic pathways of GlcNAc as well as of ManNAc.

This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis

Supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.

This NAGK antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 300-330 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human NAGK.
