Anti-UGP2 antibody produced in rabbit

UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2) is an intermediary enzyme that transports glucose from glucose-1-phosphate to MgUTP. Studies in pigs have revealed that UGP2 is highly expressed in the liver and skeletal muscle cells.
Rabbit Anti-UGP2 antibody recognizes zebrafish, canine, chicken, bovine, pig, human, mouse, and rat UGP2.

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human UGP2

Rabbit Anti-UGP2 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.25μg/ml.

UGP2 is an important intermediary in mammalian carbohydrate interconversions. It transfers a glucose moiety from glucose-1-phosphate to MgUTP and forms UDP-glucose and MgPPi. In liver and muscle tissue, UDP-glucose is a direct precursor of glycogen; in lactating mammary gland it is converted to UDP-galactose which is then converted to lactose. The eukaryotic enzyme has no significant sequence similarity to the prokaryotic enzyme.The enzyme encoded by this gene is an important intermediary in mammalian carbohydrate interconversions.

In liver and muscle tissue, UDP-glucose is a direct precursor of glycogen; in lactating mammary gland it is converted to UDP-galactose which is then converted to lactose. The eukaryotic enzyme has no significant sequence similarity to the prokaryotic enzyme. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
