Anti-TGN38 Antibody (A283872)

Anti-TGN38 Antibody

Sheep polyclonal antibody to TGN38.

This antibody recognises rat TGN38, a 357 amino acid single pass trans membrane glycoprotein found primarily in the trans-golgi network, and acts as an excellent marker for this cellular organelle. TGN38 is likely to have a role in intracellular transport and plays a role in morphological maintenance. It is the homologue of human TGN46 and macaque TGN47.

Sheep anti Rat TGN38 antibody recognizes rat TGN38, a 357 amino acid single pass trans membrane glycoprotein found primarily in the trans-golgi network, and acts as an excellent marker for this cellular organelle (Humphrey et al. 1993).TGN38 is likely to have a role in intracellular transport (McNamara et al. 2004) and plays a role in morphological maintenance (Girotti and Banting 1996). It is the homologue of human TGN46 and macaque TGN47 (Ponnambalam et al. 1996).
