Type
Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal.
Introduction
HEXA is the alpha subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase which, combined with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules having N-acetyl hexosamines terminus. The two subunits composing Beta-hexosaminidase, alpha and beta, belong to the glycosyl hydrolases family and are encoded by distinct genes. Alpha subunit gene mutations can cause Tay-Sachs disease (GM2-gangliosidosis type I).
Clone
PAT20F1A.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Immunogen
Anti-human HEXA mAb, clone PAT20F1A, is derived from hybridization of mouse F0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with a recombinant human HEXA protein 89-529 amino acids purified from E. coli.
Ig Subclass
Mouse IgG2a heavy chain and Lambda light chain.
Purification Method
HEXA antibody was purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.
