Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (96%), Rat (96%).
This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-53770. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
GGCX (gamma-glutamyl carboxylase), also known as GC or VKCFD1 (Vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylase), is a 758 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein. Localized to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, GGCX functions to mediate the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation of glutamate residues on target proteins, thereby producing calcium binding gamma-carboxyglutamate (Gla) residues on these proteins and simultaneously converting vitamin K to vitamin K epoxide. GGCX exists as a monomer and, via its ability to modify glutamate residues, it accomplishes the post-translational changes that are necessary for the activity of all vitamin K-dependent proteins (such as blood coagulation and bone matrix proteins). Defects in the gene encoding GGCX are the cause of combined deficiency of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors 1 (VKCFD1) and PXE-like disorder with multiple coagulation factor deficiency, both of which are characterized by abnormal skin, blood or bone function.
