UGT8 Antibodies

AND UGT8 ELISA kits, UGT8 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect UGT8, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with UGT8 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop UGT8 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to UGT8 by testing them on tissues known to express UGT8 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the UGT8 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 3 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.

UGT8 Overview

Facts about 2-hydroxyacylsphingosine 1-beta-galactosyltransferase.

UGT8 3D structure. Source: alphafold

2-hydroxyacylsphingosine 1-beta-galactosyltransferase (UGT8)

Catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide, a key enzymatic step in the biosynthesis of galactocerebrosides, which are abundant sphingolipids of the myelin membrane of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. .
