General description
MGAT5 (mannosyl (α-1,6-)-glycoprotein β-1,6-N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase) is a glycosyltransferase, which resides in the golgi apparatus. This gene maps to human chromosome 2q21 and has an open reading frame (ORF) of 2349bp. It is expressed ubiquitously, with the exception of skeletal muscle. Also its expression levels in brain are low.
Immunogen

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
MGAT5 (mannosyl (α-1,6-)-glycoprotein β-1,6-N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase) catalyzes the addition of β1-6 N-acetylglucosamine branches on asparagine (N)-linked oligosaccharides (N-glycan), present on cell proteins. It catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to β1,6-linked mannosyl residue, at their C-6 position, within the trimannosyl core structure of N-glycans, which are complex in nature. This produces GlcNAc(β1,6)[GlcNAcβ1,2] mannose (Man) (α1,6). Dysregulation of this enzyme is associated with many cancers. The expression of MGAT5 in gastric cancer is related to metastasis, tumor grade and stage and prognosis. It is also down-regulated in ulcerative colitis (UC), which leads to disruption of N-glycosylation of T-cell receptor. Hence, MGAT5 plays a role in the pathogenesis of UC. The expression of MGAT5 is positively correlated with proliferation and metastasis of human hepatocellular carcinoma.
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.

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing worldwide and the underlying molecular mechanisms are far from being fully elucidated. Herein, we evaluated the role of N-glycosylation dysregulation in T cells as a key mechanism in the ulcerative colitis (UC)

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:alpha(1,6)-D-mannoside beta(1,6)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT-V, Mgat5) functions in the biosynthesis of N-linked glycans and is transcriptionally upregulated by oncogene signaling. We report here the cloning and characterization of a human cDNA encoding a distinct enzyme with related substrate specificity, termed GnT-VB, which

To investigate the role of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases V (GnT-V) in the malignancy of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the GnT-V stably suppressed cell line HepG2 GnT-V/1564 was constructed from HepG2. The proliferation, migration, invasion, metastasis of HepG2 GnT-V/1564 was investigated both in

N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) is an enzyme that catalyzes β1-6 branching of N-acetylglucosamine on asparagine (N)-linked oligosaccharides (N-glycan) of cell proteins and the dysfunction of which is a common feature of various carcinomas. Nevertheless, the role of GnT-V remains controversial. Therefore
