Additional info: LARGE1 serves as a glycosyltransferase which participates in glycosylation of the muscle membrane protein alpha-dystroglycan. Mutations of LARGE1 lead to hypoglycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan and cause congenital muscular dystrophy (MDC1D) associated with severe mental retardation. Altered alpha-dystroglycan glycosylation may also play a role in cancer, as hypoglycosylation of the protein and loss of laminin binding have been demonstrated in invasive carcinoma cells.SpecificityThe antibody LST1/02 reacts with an extracellular epitope of LST1, an approximately 6-11 kDa protein expressed as various transmembrane or soluble forms. LST1 is found predominantly on monocytes and dendritic cells. It migrates on SDS PAGE gels as approximately 25-28 kDa molecule.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-5 μg/ml.
