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.
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.
