Galactose Mutarotase Antibody (E-4): sc-365556

Galactose Mutarotase Antibody (E-4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Galactose Mutarotase in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Galactose Mutarotase is a crucial enzyme in the metabolism of galactose, facilitating the conversion of β-D-galactose to α-D-galactose, which is essential for proper utilization of galactose in various biological processes. Galactose Mutarotase is predominantly located in the cytoplasm of most cells, where Galactose Mutarotase plays a vital role in hexose metabolism by ensuring galactose is efficiently processed and utilized. Galactose Mutarotase activity is particularly important because disruption in galactose metabolism can lead to accumulation of unmetabolized sugars, potentially resulting in metabolic disorders. Galactose Mutarotase contains critical residues, such as Glu 304 and His 170, which are essential for catalytic function, while His 96 and Asp 243 are important for substrate recognition, highlighting the intricate structure-function relationship that underpins enzymatic activity. With no known diseases directly linked to mutations in the Galactose Mutarotase gene, understanding Galactose Mutarotase function and regulation remains a key area of research, particularly in the context of metabolic health.
