UDP Glycosyltransferase 8 (UGT8) is a member of the UDP-glycosyltransferase family. UGT8 catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide, a crucial enzymatic step in the biosynthesis of galactocerebrosides, which are abundant sphingolipids of the myelin membrane of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.
UGT8 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 544 amino acids (21-541 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 61.6kDa.UGT8 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus.
| UniProt Protein Function: | UGT8: 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. Belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family. |
