Detection of beta-1,3-Glucuronyltransferase 1/B3GAT1 in Human Brain Hippocampus.

beta-1,3-Glucuronyltransferase 1/B3GAT1 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Human Brain Hippocampus using Mouse Anti-Human beta-1,3-Glucuronyltransferase 1/B3GAT1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB85603) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell surface and cytoplasm in neurons. View our protocol for IHC Staining with VisUCyte HRP Polymer Detection Reagents.

Detection of beta-1,3-Glucuronyltransferase 1/B3GAT1 in SH-SY5Y (positive) and THP-1 (negative) cells.

beta-1,3-Glucuronyltransferase 1/B3GAT1 was detected in immersion fixed SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell line (positive) and THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line (negative) cells using Mouse Anti-Human beta-1,3-Glucuronyltransferase 1/B3GAT1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB85603) at 8 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell surface and cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Non-adherent Cells.

Background: beta-1,3-Glucuronyltransferase 1/B3GAT1

B3GAT1 is a key enzyme involved in human natural killer-1 (HNK-1) epitope synthesis. It adds a glucuronic residue to the terminal lactosamine residue (Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc-) of a glycoprotein or glycolipid, which can be further sulfated to become the HNK-1 epitope, a unique trisaccharide structure, HSO3-3GlcA beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc- (1, 2). The enzyme activity was found to be enhanced in the presence of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylinositol (3).The HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope is characteristically expressed on a series of cell adhesion molecules in addition to some glycolipids in the extracellular matrix and on the cell surface in the nervous system, where it is involved in cell‑cell and cell‑substratum interaction and recognition during the development of the nervous system (4). Like most known glycosyltransferases, B3GAT1 is a type II Golgi-resident transmembrane protein with a short N‑terminal cytoplasmic domain and a single‑pass transmembrane domain followed by an enzymatic domain in the lumen of Golgi apparatus. The enzyme activity was assayed using a phosphatase-coupled method (5).
