Product details:
The Human B3GAT3 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) Kit is designed for detection of B3GAT3 in human plasma, serum, cell culture, and cell lysate samples.
This assay employs a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique that measures human B3GAT3 in approximately 5 hours. A polyclonal antibody specific for human B3GAT3 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. B3GAT3 in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for human B3GAT3, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

GlcAT-I also known as glucuronyltransferase-I is an enzyme responsible for the transfer of glucuronic acid to various substrates. It catalyzes the formation of glycosaminoglycans by adding glucuronic acid to non-reducing ends. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 38 kDa and expresses predominantly in tissues associated with the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans such as the liver and cartilage. GlcAT-I is an important component in glycoprotein and proteoglycan production playing an important role in cellular communication and structural integrity.
Biological function summary
The enzyme GlcAT-I has a central role in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. These glycosaminoglycans are part of proteoglycan complexes which are important for maintaining the biomechanical properties of tissues. Through its activity GlcAT-I contributes to the structural functionality of the extracellular matrix (ECM) serving essential functions in cellular adhesion and tissue repair. GlcAT-I modulates interactions that are integral to maintaining health and development of connective tissues.
Pathways
This enzyme operates significantly within the glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis pathway. GlcAT-I collaborates closely with other glycosyltransferases in the synthesis of proteoglycans influencing ECM organization and cell signaling pathways. It shares interactions with proteins such as decorin and biglycan which are essential components in the formation of the ECM. Through its function in these pathways GlcAT-I plays roles in cellular proliferation and differentiation processes.
Malfunctions in GlcAT-I activity connect to skeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. These conditions involve defects in ECM composition and its mechanical strength. Altered GlcAT-I function can influence the structural arrangement of proteins like aggrecan within the ECM leading to compromised tissue integrity and joint function. By understanding its involvement researchers can target GlcAT-I in therapeutic strategies for treating these disorders.
