Scientific Data Images for Human alpha-Galactosidase A/GLA Antibody

alpha-Galactosidase A/GLA in Human Testis Tissue.

alpha-Galactosidase A/GLA was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human testis tissue using Mouse Anti-Human alpha-Galactosidase A/GLA Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6146) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to Leydig cells. Staining was performed using our IHC Staining with VisUCyte HRP Polymer Detection Reagents protocol.

Background: alpha-Galactosidase A/GLA

Human alpha-Galactosidase A is a homodimeric glycoprotein that can release terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins and catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose (1). It is a lysosomal enzyme and is responsible for degradation of glycolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) (Gal alpha1‑4Gal beta1‑4Glc beta‑ceramide). Mutations in this gene cause Fabry disease, an X-linked hereditary lysosomal storage disease with the accumulation of Gb3 in the walls of small blood vessels, nerves, dorsal root ganglia, renal glomerular and tubular epithelial cells, and cardiomyocytes (2, 3). Inability to prevent the glycosphingolipid deposition can cause hypertension, strokes, heart attack and progressive renal failure (4). Current treatment for Fabry disease is enzyme replacement therapy using intravenously delivered recombinant alpha-Galactosidase A (5, 6).
