Technical Data
G8577-50
Golgi Marker, 58K
Description:
58K protein antibodies are excellent for use as markers for the Golgi complex. The 58K protein has been identified as being FTCD, a bifunctional enzyme that channels 1-carbon units from formiminoglutamate, a metabolite of the histidine degradation pathway, to the folate pool. Defects in FTCD are the cause of glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency; also known as formiminoglutamicaciduria (FIGLU-uria). It is an autosomal recessive disorder. Features of a severe phenotype, include elevated levels of formiminoglutamate (FIGLU) in the urine in response to histidine administration, megaloblastic anemia, and mental retardation. Features of a mild phenotype include high urinary excretion of FIGLU in the absence of histidine administration, mild developmental delay, and no hematological abnormalities.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry and as a marker for the Golgi complex in Immunofluorescence. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
Western Blot: 1:5000
Immunofluorescence: 1:50
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
Western Blot (Colometric): Whole rat liver extract.
Indirect Immunofluorescence: Cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.
