GGL Antibody (153-81D4) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects GGL protein by western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP). Anti-GGL antibody (153-81D4) is available as a non-conjugated format. GGL protein plays a crucial role in forming N epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl) lysine bonds through tissue transglutaminase activity. These bonds contribute to extracellular matrix (ECM) structural integrity by providing proteolysis resistance, influencing apoptosis, cellular differentiation, and matrix stabilization. GGL protein is predominantly localized in the nucleus and releases from blood cells during coagulation, highlighting GGL protein′s importance in ECM accumulation and tissue fibrosis. Abnormal GGL protein levels have been linked to human diabetic nephropathy, a condition characterized by progressive glomerulosclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis, underscoring GGL protein′s relevance in both normal physiology and disease states.
