The Recombinant GBA Monoclonal Antibody is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody (clone C711583) against GBA. Beta-Glucosylceramidase (β-GC) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucocerebroside into free ceramide and glucose. Lysosomal breakdown of glucocerebroside is required for cellular metabolism of complex lipids and proper turnover of cellular membrane. In the absence of GBA, the gene that encodes β-GC, autophagic lysosome reformation is altered, suggesting that β-GC activity is critical to maintain functional lysosomes. Produced by recombinant technology in Rabbit hosts and purified by Protein A affinity chromatography, this Rabbit IgG antibody is reactive against Human and Rat samples.
This antibody is suitable for WB, IHC, IF and ELISA applications. It has been validated by WB analysis of U-87 MG, Saos-2, C6 and IHC analysis of Human kidney. The target is localized to the lysosome.
