Description

  • Specific Activity: >300 pmol/min/μg (human ortholog; mouse activity inferred similarly) .

  • Assay Protocol:

    1. Reaction Mixture: UDP-GalNAc (0.5 mM), EA2 peptide (0.1 mM), Coupling Phosphatase I (0.2 μg).

    2. Detection: Malachite Green Reagent quantifies phosphate release (absorbance at 620 nm) .

Biological Function and Research Applications

Galnt1 initiates O-glycosylation, a modification linked to cellular adhesion, signaling, and cancer progression.

Role in O-Glycosylation

  • Substrate Specificity: Targets peptides such as MUC1, MUC5AC, and MUC7 .

  • Hierarchy: Acts as an "early transferase" for nonglycosylated or monoglycosylated substrates .

Cancer Research

A study in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) revealed:

ObservationMechanismOutcome
GALNT1 OverexpressionEnhanced EGFR activation via reduced O-glycosylationIncreased cell migration/invasion
GALNT1 KnockdownDelayed EGFR degradation; increased co-localization with lysosomes (LAMP1)Suppressed migration/invasion
EGFR SignalingDownregulation of p-Y1068 (activated EGFR) and accelerated degradationReduced tumor aggressiveness

Key Findings:

  • GALNT1 knockdown in HCC cells (e.g., HA22T, PLC5) reduced EGF-induced migration by >50% .

  • EGFR degradation rate increased 2–3-fold in GALNT1-deficient cells .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we will prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference in order notes for customized preparation.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please consult your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. Dry ice shipping requires prior arrangement and incurs additional charges.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to settle the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, which can serve as a guideline.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on various factors including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized forms have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquot to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Background

Function

Recombinant Mouse Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1 (Galnt1) catalyzes the initial step in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis: the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor. It exhibits broad substrate specificity, acting on various peptides including EA2, Muc5AC, Muc1a, Muc1b, and Muc7.
