Conjugate Avi-tag Biotinylated
E. coli biotin ligase (BirA) is highly specific in covalently attaching biotin to the 15 amino acid AviTag peptide. This recombinant protein was biotinylated in vivo by AviTag-BirA technology, which method is BriA catalyzes amide linkage between the biotin and the specific lysine of the AviTag.

Tag Info
Tag type will be determined during the manufacturing process.
The tag type will be determined during production process. If you have specified tag type, please tell us and we will develop the specified tag preferentially.
Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: We will preferentially ship the format that we have in stock, however, if you have any special requirement for the format, please remark your requirement when placing the order, we will prepare according to your demand.
Buffer before Lyophilization
Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Lead Time
Delivery time may differ from different purchasing way or location, please kindly consult your local distributors for specific delivery time.
Note: All of our proteins are default shipped with normal blue ice packs, if you request to ship with dry ice, please communicate with us in advance and extra fees will be charged.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Target Background

Function
Catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide, a key enzymatic step in the biosynthesis of galactocerebrosides, which are abundant sphingolipids of the myelin membrane of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Galactosylates both hydroxy- and non-hydroxy fatty acid-containing ceramides and diglycerides.
Gene References into Functions
  1. An increase in the immunolabelling of ceramide was observed in cells where UDP glycosyltransferase 8 (UGT8) was down-regulated as opposed to cells where UGT8 was either not regulated or was up-regulated. PMID: 28746357
  2. Data indicate that ceramide galactosyltransferase (UGT8), although enhanced in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) tissues, does not meet the criteria of a lung tumor marker. PMID: 27620310
  3. Our study suggests that CGT expression is controlled by balanced expression of the negative modulator OLIG2 and positive regulator Nkx2.2, providing new insights into how expression of GalCer is tightly regulated in cell-type- and stage-specific manners. PMID: 24821492
  4. A new role was identified for UGT8 as a modulator of bile acid homeostasis. PMID: 25519837
  5. High expression of UGT8 accompanied by accumulation of GalCer in MDA-MB-231 cells is associated with a much higher proliferative index and a lower number of apoptotic cells in comparison to the MDA/LUC-shUGT8 cells. PMID: 24391908
  6. Comprehensive genomic analyses associate UGT8 variants with musical ability in a Mongolian population. PMID: 23118445
  7. UGT8 is a significant index of tumour aggressiveness and is seen in lung metastases of breast cancer. PMID: 20648017
  8. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in UGT8 gene PMID: 12376738
  9. the GC-box and CRE function cooperatively, and that the CRE regulates the cell-specific expression of the hCGT gene PMID: 15229398
  10. We postulate that molecular link between defective GALT enzyme, which result in classic galactosemia and the cerebroside galactosyl transferase, responsible for galactosylation of cerebrosides, is dependent on concentrations of UDP-galactose. PMID: 16125333
  11. Gene expression of galactosyl ceramide synthase associated with poor pathohistological grading in breast cancer PMID: 19125296
