GALK2 Antibodies

AND GALK2 ELISA kits, GALK2 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect GALK2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with GALK2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop GALK2 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to GALK2 by testing them on tissues known to express GALK2 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the GALK2 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 2 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

GALK2 Overview

Facts about N-acetylgalactosamine kinase.

GALK2 3D structure

GALK2 3D structure. Source: alphafold

N-acetylgalactosamine kinase (GALK2)

Acts on GalNAc.
Also functions as a galactokinase when galactose is present at elevated concentrations.

May be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates. .
