Anti-GALK1 Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this affinity-purified reagent is a rabbit polyclonal antibody directed against galactokinase 1 (GALK1), the enzyme implicated in the first committed step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism. Supplied as a 50 µL liquid formulation at 1 mg/mL in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide, the unconjugated antibody is generated against a synthetic peptide derived from the N-terminal region of human GALK1 and specifically detects endogenous levels of the target protein. It is validated for use in ELISA, Western blot (WB), immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence (ICC/IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), and cross-reacts with human, mouse and rat samples, making it a versatile choice for laboratories working across multiple model systems. The polyclonal nature of the reagent ensures recognition of multiple epitopes on GALK1, supporting robust signal in both denaturing and native assay formats, while epitope-specific affinity chromatography guarantees high specificity. Recommended storage at –20 °C in small aliquots preserves antibody activity for long-term use. For research groups investigating galactosemia-related pathways, congenital disorders of glycosylation, or general carbohydrate metabolism, this GALK1 polyclonal antibody provides a reliable and well-characterized detection tool from Antibodies.com.
