Application Notes: UDP Glucose Ceramide Glucosyltransferase (UGCG) is an enzyme which catalyzes the first glycosylation step in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis. It belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. UGCG is widely expressed and transcription is upregulated during keratinocyte differentiation. Besides, Large Multifunctional Peptidase 2 (LMP2) has been identified as an interactor of UGCG, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human UGCG and recombinant human LMP2. Briefly, UGCG were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 µl were then transferred to LMP2-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-UGCG pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37C. Finally, add 50 µl stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of UGCG and LMP2 was in a dose dependent manner.
