PYGB/M Antibody (10H5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects PYGB/M of human origin by western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP). Anti-PYGB/M antibody (10H5) specifically targets glycogen phosphorylase, an allosteric enzyme that plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism by catalyzing the breakdown of glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate, which is then utilized for energy production. The regulation of glycogen phosphorylase is vital, as activity can be modulated through noncovalent binding of metabolites or through covalent modifications, such as phosphorylation. This regulation is particularly important in maintaining glucose homeostasis, especially during periods of fasting or intense physical activity. The enzyme exists in three isoforms, encoded by the genes PYGB, PYGL, and PYGM, which are expressed in the brain, liver, and muscle, respectively. Given its essential function in glycogen metabolism, glycogen phosphorylase has emerged as a significant target for the development of therapeutic agents aimed at treating conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus, where impaired glucose regulation is a key concern.
