ab168341 Anti-Galactosidase alpha antibody [EP5828(2)] was shown to specifically react with Galactosidase alpha in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265563 (knockout cell lysate ab257449) was used. Wild-type and Galactosidase alpha knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab168341 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Biological function summary
The role of alpha-galactosidase involves the breakdown of complex carbohydrates particularly those containing alpha-galactosidic bonds. It does not operate as part of a complex but rather functions independently to cleave these specific bonds in glycolipids and glycoproteins. This activity is critical for degrading langerin and other gangliosides preventing the accumulation of these molecules in the lysosomes. By continuously performing this function alpha-galactosidase maintains glycosphingolipid homeostasis ensuring efficient cellular metabolism.
Pathways
The involvement of alpha-galactosidase in metabolic and lysosomal catabolic pathways is significant. One critical pathway is the glycolipid metabolism pathway where it acts alongside related enzymes such as beta-galactosidase. It also participates in the lysosomal degradation pathway working in conjunction with other lysosomal enzymes to prevent substrate buildup. The interaction with enzymes like lysosomal hydrolases ensures the proper breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones that cells can utilize or excrete.
