Anti-GALE Antibody

Produced in rabbit hosts, this unconjugated polyclonal reagent targets UDP-galactose-4-epimerase (GALE), the enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose within the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism. Distributed by Antibodies.com, the antibody is validated for western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows on human samples, supporting research into glycosylation biology and the rare autosomal recessive disorder galactosemia type III, which arises from inherited GALE deficiency.

Supplied as 100 µl of unconjugated antiserum for research use only, the reagent enables detection of endogenous GALE protein in cell lysates and tissue sections. The polyclonal format provides recognition of multiple epitopes on the target, while the unconjugated presentation allows researchers to pair the primary with their preferred secondary detection system and custom labeling protocols appropriate to each experimental design.
