Human Glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 1 ELISA Kit

Glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 1 is a transmembrane enzyme involved in glycosylation reactions. Glycosylation reactions are found extensively in nature; they are responsible for producing complex biomolecules like carbohydrates. The discovery of this enzyme revealed a new path for drug development, as it may be possible to interfere with GPT1 activity to prevent nutrient transfer from mother to fetus, potentially leading to the prevention of certain birth defects. Although GPT1 has been shown to express all MAL-type proteins at high levels only in amniotic fluid, this enzyme is not found in the amnion. Researchers found that the newly formed glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 7 was responsible for active transport of nutrients through placental membranes into embryonic cells
