GPI-anchor transamidase Antibodies

AND PIGK ELISA kits, GPI-anchor transamidase Proteins

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

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to GPI-anchor transamidase by testing them on tissues known to express PIGK positively and negatively. Browse below to find the PIGK antibody that suites your experiment. We have 1 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.

PIGK Overview

Facts about GPI-anchor transamidase.

PIGK 3D structure. Source: alphafold

GPI-anchor transamidase (PIGK)

Mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by substituting a protein C-terminal GPI attachment signal peptide with a pre-assembled GPI. During this transamidation reaction, the GPI transamidase creates a carbonyl intermediate with the substrate protein.
