Product Description

MA1-076 recognizes beta-1,3 linked O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) residues of streptococcal group A carbohydrate as well as O-GlcNAc glycosylated proteins. MA1-076 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation and ELISA procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects several proteins representing immunoprecipitated O-GlcNAc glycoproteins. Immunofluorescence staining of O-GlcNAc in cells results in labeling of the nuclear envelope and pores, nucleolus, and cytoplasm. This staining pattern is consistent with other methods of detecting O-GlcNAc moieties. The MA1-076 immunogen is heat killed, pepsin treated group A streptococci. DO NOT USE WITH DILUENTS CONTAINING GLYCOSYLATED PROTEINS. O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a posttranslational modification characterized by the attachment of N-acetylglucosamine to specific serine or threonine residues. Unlike other protein glycosylations, O-GlcNAc modifications occur within the nucleus and cytoplasm. They are found on many cellular proteins, including nuclear pore, oncogene, cytoskeletal, heat shock, viral and transcription regulatory proteins. O-GlcNAc glycosylations are thought to obscure phosphorylation sites, counteracting phosphorylation-dependent signaling p
