Synthetic peptide, corresponding to amino acids 10-70 of Human Fucokinase.
Conjugation:
Unconjugated
Alternative Names:
L-fucose kinase, Fucokinase, FUK
Blood group antigen recognition, metastasis and inflammation utilize fucose, a sugar found in glycoproteins and glycolipids. Fucokinase, also designated L-fucose kinase or FUK, is a 1,084 amino acid enzyme that plays a role in the salvage pathway of fucose reutilization. A member of the GHMP kinase family, Fucokinase exists as two alternative splice variants and catalyzes L-fucose phosphorylation to form beta-L-fucose 1-phosphate. The gene encoding Fucokinase maps to human chromosome 16, which encodes over 900 genes and comprises nearly 3% of the human genome. The GAN gene is located on chromosome 16 and, with mutation, may lead to giant axonal neuropathy, a nervous system disorder characterized by increasing malfunction with growth. The rare disorder Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is also associated with chromosome 16, as is Crohns disease, which is a gastrointestinal inflammatory condition.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
