Anti-GLYCTK Antibody

For protein-expression studies, this rabbit polyclonal IgG primary antibody from Antibodies.com is supplied in a 50 µl format and is validated for western blot. Its stated reactivity with human, mouse, and rat samples supports comparative analysis of endogenous GLYCTK abundance in prepared cell and tissue lysates.

Typical applications include examining baseline expression, changes following genetic or metabolic perturbation, and differences between experimental groups. Because GLYCTK encodes glycerate kinase (EC 2.7.1.31), an enzyme that phosphorylates (R)-glycerate and may participate in serine degradation and fructose metabolism, the antibody is relevant to studies of metabolic pathways and enzyme regulation. Its unconjugated format allows researchers to pair it with compatible rabbit-IgG secondary antibodies carrying an enzyme, biotin, or fluorophore label.

For dependable interpretation, optimize lysate preparation and western blot conditions, include appropriate positive and negative controls, normalize signals with suitable loading controls, and confirm the expected band through molecular-weight information or an orthogonal method where available. This reagent reports protein presence or relative abundance; it does not directly measure glycerate kinase activity. For research use only; not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
