What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

MGEA5 also referred to as OGA or O-GlcNAcase serves an important mechanical role in cellular metabolism. This enzyme with a molecular mass of around 103 kDa is primarily involved in the removal of O-GlcNAc modifications from serine/threonine residues on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. It is expressed in various tissues but exhibits predominant activity in the brain liver and pancreas. Alternative names like "OGA stains" or "OGA b" may also be encountered in literature or research contexts.
Biological function summary

MGEA5 acts as an important modulator of protein function and regulation by cycling O-GlcNAc modifications thereby influencing processes like transcription signal transduction and apoptosis. While not part of a well-defined complex it frequently interacts with other proteins involved in glucose metabolism and the cellular stress response. Its activity works in concert with OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase) which adds O-GlcNAc maintaining a balance important for cellular function.

Pathways

MGEA5 involvement centers largely around glucose homeostasis and the insulin signaling pathway. It modulates the function of proteins like insulin receptor substrate (IRS) and other key regulators in this pathway affecting metabolic regulation and energy homeostasis. It shows a direct relationship with OGT as they reciprocate in action effects highlighting their collaborative role in cellular pathways that affect cellular signaling and survival.

MGEA5 has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes. In Alzheimer's disease altered O-GlcNAc cycling affects tau protein homeostasis which is significant in disease pathogenesis. Likewise in diabetes MGEA5 influences insulin resistance by regulating O-GlcNAc levels on insulin signaling molecules. Dysregulation of these processes may also involve proteins such as beta-amyloid further linking MGEA5 to these pathological states.

Target data

Isoform 1. Cleaves GlcNAc but not GalNAc from O-glycosylated proteins (PubMed : 11148210, PubMed : 11788610, PubMed : 20673219, PubMed : 22365600, PubMed : 24088714, PubMed : 28939839, PubMed : 37962578). Deglycosylates a large and diverse number of proteins, such as CRYAB, ELK1, GSDMD, LMNB1 and TAB1 (PubMed : 28939839, PubMed : 37962578). Can use p-nitrophenyl-beta-GlcNAc and 4-methylumbelliferone-GlcNAc as substrates but not p-nitrophenyl-beta-GalNAc or p-nitrophenyl-alpha-GlcNAc (in vitro) (PubMed : 20673219). Does not bind acetyl-CoA and does not have histone acetyltransferase activity (PubMed : 24088714).. Isoform 3. Cleaves GlcNAc but not GalNAc from O-glycosylated proteins. Can use p-nitrophenyl-beta-GlcNAc as substrate but not p-nitrophenyl-beta-GalNAc or p-nitrophenyl-alpha-GlcNAc (in vitro), but has about six times lower specific activity than isoform 1.
