Anti-PIGW Antibody

Raised in rabbit and validated for Western blot detection across human, mouse, and rat samples, this polyclonal primary antibody from Antibodies.com recognizes PIGW, an endoplasmic reticulum membrane inositol acyltransferase that acylates the inositol ring during glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis. The reagent is supplied as 100 µl of an unconjugated preparation at 1 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 0.05% sodium azide, pH approximately 7.7. Investigators studying GPI-anchored cell surface proteins, ER-resident lipid remodeling, or variants of hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation linked to PIGW loss of function use this reagent to probe endogenous protein levels in cell and tissue lysates. For best results, keep refrigerated and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody activity.
