The SAMD8 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC050794) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the SAMD8 protein, a member of the immune system that plays a key role in immune response regulation. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been rigorously validated for Western blot applications. By specifically binding to the SAMD8 protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an essential component for studies in immunology and cancer research.
SAMD8, also known as Sterile Alpha Motif Domain Containing 8, is a crucial player in immune system function, with implications in regulating inflammation and immune responses. Its involvement in immune response modulation makes it a promising target for research on diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Gaining insights into the functions of SAMD8 holds significant promise for developing novel therapies that manipulate immune responses in the context of these diseases.

Background:
Sphingomyelin synthases synthesize sphingolipids through transfer of a phosphatidyl head group on to the primary hydroxyl of ceramide. SAMD8 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transferase that has no sphingomyelin synthase activity but can convert phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and ceramide to ceramide phosphoethanolamine (CPE) albeit with low product yield. Appears to operate as a ceramide sensor to control ceramide homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum rather than a converter of ceramides. Seems to be critical for the integrity of the early secretory pathway.
