Human GALNT14 ELISA Kit (HUFI07876)

GALNT14 (Polypeptide N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 14) is a Golgi-resident glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine to serine and threonine residues, initiating mucin-type O-linked glycosylation. This Assay Genie ELISA Kit is configured for quantitative measurement of human GALNT14 protein in research samples and is specific for the human polypeptide. The enzyme has emerged as a focus of investigation in oncology, where altered O-glycosylation patterns modulate cell adhesion, receptor signaling, and tumor microenvironment interactions. Researchers studying breast carcinoma and other solid tumors have used GALNT14 measurements to explore correlations with disease stage, metastatic potential, and E-cadherin-mediated epithelial integrity. The kit provides reagents for 96 individual determinations and uses an absorbance-based method compatible with standard microplate readers. Each plate includes pre-coated wells, calibration standards, detection antibody, and substrate solution needed to generate a standard curve. Samples should be handled according to standard laboratory protocols and stored at 4°C for short-term use, or aliquoted and frozen for longer-term stability. This product is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic procedures.
