Target/Specificity | This PIGU antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 102-134 amino acids from human PIGU. |
Dilution | WB~~1:2000 E~~Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | PIGU Antibody (N-Term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PIGU (HGNC:15791) |

Synonyms | CDC91L1 |
Function | Component of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor (GPI- anchor) transamidase (GPI-T) complex that catalyzes the formation of the linkage between a proprotein and a GPI-anchor and participates in GPI anchored protein biosynthesis (PubMed:12802054, PubMed:31353022, PubMed:34576938, PubMed:35165458, PubMed:35551457, PubMed:37684232). Binds the lipid portion of GPI-anchor (PubMed:37684232). May act as an organizer in the transmembrane layer to recruit other subunits, and thus is essential for assembly of the complex (PubMed:35165458, PubMed:35551457). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
