Active Recombinant Human Fucosyltransferase 8 (alpha (1, 6) fucosyltransferase), His-tagged

• Cat.No.: FUT8-577H
• Product Overview: Recombinanthuman FUT8 protein was expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line, CHO-derived;with an N-terminus human CD33 signal sequence, and 6-His tag. Asp32-Lys575.

Specification

• Cat. No.: FUT8-577H
• Description: FUT8 is frequentlyfound at terminal sites on various glycols and is essential for thegeneration of many sugar epitomes. Well known FUT8 containing glycols includeLewis and ABO blood group antigens. Lewis epitomes are key elements involvedin leukocyte homing and extravasations process, thus are essential forlymphocyte maturation and natural defense functions.
• Source: Chinese HamsterOvary cell line, CHO-derived
