It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse OGA with 0.063 ng\/ml sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003cbr\u003e\nProtein O-GlcNAcase (OGA), also referred to as Beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase and Meningioma-expressed antigen 5 (MGEA5) is a 916 amino acid enzyme encoded by the gene *OGA*. OGA catalyzes the hydrolysis of GlcNac (N-acetyl-Beta-D-glucosamine) from O-glycosylated serine or threonine residues to form free N-acetyl-D-glucosamine generally in the cytosol. Thiazoline derivatives of GlcNAc have been found to act as OGA enzyme inhibitors by mimicking the reaction intermediates. OGA has a broad range of proteins that act as substrates, which may modulate downstream effects such as transcription and proteomic activities. OGA plays a role in embryonic development, brain activity, and hormone production. Mouse OGA protein shares a 98 and 97% sequence identity with rat and human protein, respectively.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nMGEA5 also referred to as OGA or O-GlcNAcase serves an important mechanical role in cellular metabolism. This enzyme with a molecular mass of around 103 kDa is primarily involved in the removal of O-GlcNAc modifications from serine\/threonine residues on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. It is expressed in various tissues but exhibits predominant activity in the brain liver and pancreas. Alternative names like \"OGA stains\" or \"OGA b\" may also be encountered in literature or research contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMGEA5 acts as an important modulator of protein function and regulation by cycling O-GlcNAc modifications thereby influencing processes like transcription signal transduction and apoptosis. While not part of a well-defined complex it frequently interacts with other proteins involved in glucose metabolism and the cellular stress response. Its activity works in concert with OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase) which adds O-GlcNAc maintaining a balance important for cellular function.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMGEA5 involvement centers largely around glucose homeostasis and the insulin signaling pathway. It modulates the function of proteins like insulin receptor substrate (IRS) and other key regulators in this pathway affecting metabolic regulation and energy homeostasis. It shows a direct relationship with OGT as they reciprocate in action effects highlighting their collaborative role in cellular pathways that affect cellular signaling and survival.\u003cbr\u003e\nMGEA5 has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes. In Alzheimer's disease altered O-GlcNAc cycling affects tau protein homeostasis which is significant in disease pathogenesis. Likewise in diabetes MGEA5 influences insulin resistance by regulating O-GlcNAc levels on insulin signaling molecules. Dysregulation of these processes may also involve proteins such as beta-amyloid further linking MGEA5 to these pathological states.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843579465897,"sku":"ab255726","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab255726","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
