Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein O-mannosyl-transferase 2 is an enzyme encoded by the POMT2 gene in humans. It plays a novel and a specific role in the maturation and/or function of sperm in mammals. Mutation in this gene may cause muscular dystrophy, severe muscle-eye-brain disease and Walker-Warburg syndrome to limb girdle muscular dystrophy without structural brain or ocular involvement.

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.

Dystroglycanopathies are a genetically heterogeneous subset of congenital muscular dystrophies that exhibit autosomal recessive inheritance and are characterized by abnormal glycosylation of α-dystroglycan. In particular, POMT2 (protein O-mannosyltransferase-2) mutations have been identified in congenital muscular dystrophy patients with a wide

Dystroglycanopathies are a group of congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) with autosomal recessive inheritance, often associated with CNS and ocular involvement. They are characterized by the abnormal glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan, and caused by mutations in at least six genes encoding enzymes:

We report a patient harboring a novel homozygous mutation of c.604T>G (p.F202V) in POMT2. He showed delayed psychomotor development but acquired the ability to walk at the age of 3 years and 10 months. His brain MRI was normal. No

Over the past few years it has emerged that O-mannosyl glycans are not restricted to yeasts and fungi but are also present in higher eukaryotes, including humans. They play a substantial role in the onset of muscular dystrophy and neuronal

The POMGNT1 gene, encoding protein O-linked-mannose β-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1, is associated with muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB) and other dystroglycanopathies. This gene's lack of function or expression causes hypoglycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG) in the muscle and the central nervous system, including the brain
