Description
NAGK Monoclonal Antibody [P4D12AT] (CPAB0120)
The NAGK Polyclonal Antibody (CPAB0120) is a vital tool for researchers studying N-acetylglucosamine kinase (NAGK), an essential enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of UDP-GlcNAc, a key metabolite in cell growth and proliferation. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity for NAGK in human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications.NAGK plays a crucial role in the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway, which links glucose metabolism to post-translational modifications of proteins through glycosylation. Dysregulation of this pathway has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.
By targeting NAGK, researchers can investigate the role of this enzyme in disease pathogenesis and potential therapeutic interventions.The NAGK Polyclonal Antibody enables the precise detection and analysis of NAGK expression in different cell types, offering valuable insights into its function and regulation. Its application in immunology and cell biology research makes it an indispensable tool for unraveling the complex mechanisms underlying diseases linked to the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway.

Background: | N-Acetylglucosamine Kinase (NAGK) is a part of the eukaryotic-type N-acetylglucosamine kinase family. NAGK transforms endogenous N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), a main component of complex carbohydrates, from lysosomal degradation or nutritional sources into GlcNAc 6-phosphate. NAGK is a significant salvage enzyme of amino sugar metabolism in mammals which has ManNAc kinase activity. |
Synonyms: | N-acetyl-D-glucosamine kinase, N-acetylglucosamine kinase, GlcNAc kinase, NAGK. |
Storage Buffer: | For periods up to 1 month store at 4°C, for longer periods of time, store at -20°C. Prevent freeze thaw cycles. |
