General description

UAP1 (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase 1) is a phosphorylase enzyme, which in humans, contains two alternatively spliced isoforms called AGX1 and AGX2. AGX2 has an extra 17-amino acid sequence. UAP1 was first partially purified and characterized from yeast, Neurospora crassa, calf liver and sheep brain. It has three domains, with an SGC superfamily domain in the center. The other two domains are small and make up the N- and C-termini. The center of the core domain contains the nucleotide sugar binding domain. AGX1 is composed of predicted 505 amino acids and AGX2 of 521 amino acids. Their putative molecular weights are ~55.5kDa and ~57.3kDa respectively. This protein is expressed in placenta and testis in the primary spermatocytes.

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase 1

Application

Anti-UAP1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

UAP1 (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase 1) catalyzes the formation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDPGlcNAc) from UTP and GlcNAc1P, in cytoplasm, in the presence of Mg2+/Mn2+. The AGX2 isoform has more affinity for GlcNAc1P than AGX1 isoform. It is a component of the human sperm outer dense fibers (ODFs). It might function in normal sperm motility and related male infertility. This gene is up-regulated in androgen receptor (AR)-positive prostate cancer cell lines

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:
  • 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.
