Gene Information

human ... GLA(2717)

General description

a-Galactosidase A (UniProt: P06280; EC:3.2.1.22, Alpha-D-galactosidase A, Alpha-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, Galactosylgalactosylglucosylceramidas GLA, Melibiase, Agalsidase) is encoded by the GLA gene (Gene ID: 2717) in human. a-galactosidase A is a homodimeric, lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins and participates to their degradation in the lysosome. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-31), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that is heavily glycosylated with asparagine-linked high mannose groups. Mutations in GLA gene have been linked to Fabry disease that is characterized by glycolipid accumulation in various tissues and leads to other complication such as renal failure and cardiac and cerebral complications.

Specificity

Clone 6G8 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that specifically detects human a-Galactosidase A.

Immunogen

Recombinant full-length human a-Galactosidase A (without the signal peptide).

Application

Tested Applications


Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected a-Galactosidase A in HeLa cells.

Immunohistochemistry Applications: A representative lot detected a-Galactosidase A in Immunohistochemistry applications (Tian, W., et. al. (2019). Nat Commun. 10(1):1785).

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected a-Galactosidase A in acetone fixed HEK293 cells either HEK293 overexpressing GLA (A), HEK293 wild type (WT; B), or HEK293 cells with KO of GLA (C) (Courtesy of Asst. Prof. Zhang Yang, Ph.D., and Assoc. Prof. Ulla Mandel, Ph.D., Copenhagen Center for Glycomics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark).

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected a-Galactosidase A in lysates from HEK293 cells overexpressing GLA, HEK293 (WT), but not in HEK293 cells with GLA knockout (Courtesy of Asst. Prof. Zhang Yang, Ph.D., and Assoc. Prof. Ulla Mandel, Ph.D., Copenhagen Center for Glycomics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark).
