Description
GALC Monoclonal Antibody (CAB23228)
The GALC Monoclonal Antibody (CAB23228) is a specialized tool for researchers investigating GALC, a critical enzyme involved in the breakdown of galactosylceramide. This monoclonal antibody, generated in mice, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity towards human GALC protein in various experimental applications, particularly in immunofluorescence and ELISA assays. By specifically targeting GALC, researchers can effectively study its role in lysosomal storage disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.GALC, also known as galactocerebrosidase, is essential for the metabolism of galactolipids in the nervous system, with mutations in the GALC gene leading to conditions like Krabbe disease.
Understanding the function and regulation of GALC is crucial for developing therapies to treat these disorders and improve patient outcomes. The GALC Monoclonal Antibody provides a reliable tool for investigating GALC expression and activity in both normal and diseased tissues, paving the way for innovative research in the field of neurology and rare genetic disorders.

This gene encodes a lysosomal protein which hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Krabbe disease, also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
