General description
Mannosyl-(α-1, 3)-glycoprotein-β-1, 2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (MGAT1) gene is mapped to human chromosome 5q35. It codes for a 445 amino acid transmembrane protein with a luminal catalytic domain, localized to the medial compartment of the Golgi apparatus.
MGAT1 gene is a housekeeping gene. It is expressed as two RNA transcripts, smaller one of 2.7-3.0kb and larger of 3.1kb. Both are expressed in heart, lung, skeletal muscle and pancreas. However, only larger transcript is present in the brain.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
MGAT1 (mannosyl-(α-1, 3)-glycoprotein-β-1, 2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1) catalyzes the first step in the conversion of oligomannose to N-glycans. Members of MGAT enzyme family play a vital role in dietary fat absorption. Cell surface proteins, N-glycosylated by MGAT1, assist in cell–cell interactions and binding of cytokines and various other factors to the outer plasma membrane. MGAT1 gene is found to be significantly associated with body weight among women .
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Recently a genome-wide association analysis from five European populations identified a polymorphism located downstream of the mannosyl-(α-1,3)-glycoprotein-β-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (MGAT1) gene that was associated with body-weight. In the present study, associations between MGAT1 variants combined with obesity and insulin measurements were investigated
