CMP-N-acetylneuraminate-beta-galactosamide-alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 4 (Alpha 2,3-ST 4) (Beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 4) (EC 2.4.99.2) (EC 2.4.99.4) (Alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase IV) (Gal-NAc6S) (Gal-beta-1,4-GalNAc-alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase) (SAT-3) (ST-4) (ST3Gal IV) (ST3GalIV) (ST3GalA.2) (STZ) (Sialyltransferase 4C) (SIAT4-C), ST3GAL4, CGS23 NANTA3 SIAT4C STZ
Catalyzes the formation of the NeuAc-alpha-2,3-Gal-beta-1,4-GlcNAc-, and NeuAc-alpha-2,3-Gal-beta-1,3-GlcNAc- sequences found in terminal carbohydrate groups of glycoproteins and glycolipids. It may be involved in the biosynthesis of the sialyl Lewis X determinant.
Applications
Suitable for use in FLISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
