Immunoprecipitation of GLCE transfected lysate using anti-GLCE MaxPab rabbit polyclonal antibody and Protein A Magnetic Bead (U0007), and immunoblotted with GLCE purified MaxPab mouse polyclonal antibody (B01P) (H00026035-B01P).
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a negatively charged cell surface polysaccharide required for the biologic activities of circulating extracellular ligands. GLCE is responsible for epimerization of D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) to L-iduronic acid (IdoA) of HS, which endows the nascent polysaccharide chain with the ability to bind growth factors and cytokines (Ghiselli and Agrawal, 2005 [PubMed 15853773]).[supplied by OMIM
