Gene Information

human ... UXS1(80146)

General description

UXS1 (UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase 1) gene is expressed in a wide range of tissues, including multiple brain areas. This protein is localized to the perinuclear Golgi. This protein is composed of 420 amino acids coded by 1260 nucleotides, and it has a molecular weight of 47kDa. It is an evolutionary conserved protein, and is conserved across plants and mammals. It is a single-pass type II transmembrane protein, which has a short cytoplasmic N-terminal and a bigger luminal C-terminal.

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

UXS1 (UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase 1) catalyzes the conversion of UDP-glucuronate to UDP-xylose. UDP-xylose is essential for the initiation of the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan on the core protein of proteoglycans. In Caenorhabditis elegans, this protein is expressed in the vulva and might have a role in the morphogenesis of vulva. Offspring of UXS1-null mutants are incapable of cytokinesis initiation.

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.

UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase (UGD) catalyzes the formation of UDP-xylose from UDP-glucuronate. UDP-xylose is then used to initiate glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis on the core protein of proteoglycans. In a yeast two-hybrid screen with the protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B), we detected interactions

Recent findings indicate that glycosaminoglycans can play important roles in animal development. The genes sqv-3, -7, and -8, which are necessary for vulval morphogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans, affect the biosynthesis of chondroitin and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans. We cloned sqv-1 and
