Tested Applications

• Positive WB detected in: 37°C incubated mouse liver tissue, human liver tissue
• Positive IHC detected in: mouse liver tissue, mouse kidney tissue; Note: suggested antigen retrieval with TE buffer pH 9.0; (*) Alternatively, antigen retrieval may be performed with citrate buffer pH 6.0
• Positive IF/ICC detected in: U2OS cells

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:500-1:2000
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): IHC : 1:50-1:500
• Immunofluorescence (IF)/ICC: IF/ICC : 1:200-1:800

It is recommended that this reagent should be titrated in each testing system to obtain optimal results.

Background Information

MGAT4B belongs to the N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase-IV family and catalyzes the transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3 arm of the core structure of N-linked glycans through a beta1-4 linkage and participates in the production of tri- and tetra-antennary N-linked sugar chains (PMID: 17006639, 10372966). MGAT4B has lower affinities for donors or acceptors than MGAT4A, suggesting that, under physiological conditions, it is not the main contributor to N-glycan biosynthesis (PMID:17006639).
