The MAN2C1 antibody targets Mannosidase alpha class 2C member 1, an essential enzyme in the catabolic pathway of N-linked glycoproteins. Encoded by the MAN2C1 gene, this cytosolic alpha-mannosidase hydrolyzes terminal mannose residues from oligosaccharides generated during glycoprotein degradation. Through this process, Mannosidase alpha class 2C member 1 participates in the recycling of glycan intermediates and maintenance of carbohydrate homeostasis within cells. The MAN2C1 antibody enables researchers to study this crucial enzyme's distribution, enzymatic regulation, and contribution to cellular metabolism.
Mannosidase alpha class 2C member 1 is expressed in a wide range of tissues, including liver, kidney, and brain, where it contributes to the breakdown of misfolded glycoproteins following endoplasmic reticulum�associated degradation (ERAD). As improperly folded glycoproteins are retro-translocated to the cytosol for proteasomal degradation, MAN2C1 helps trim mannose residues from liberated oligosaccharides. This function is key for maintaining protein quality control and preventing toxic accumulation of misprocessed glycans. The MAN2C1 antibody is frequently employed in studies focused on carbohydrate metabolism, glycoprotein turnover, and the molecular mechanisms that connect glycan processing with proteostasis.
In addition to its metabolic role, Mannosidase alpha class 2C member 1 has been implicated in cell signaling and tumor biology. Evidence suggests that overexpression of MAN2C1 may suppress PTEN activity and promote oncogenic signaling through the AKT pathway. Conversely, reduced enzyme expression can influence apoptosis sensitivity and cell-cycle regulation. These findings highlight the enzyme's dual role as both a metabolic and signaling regulator. The MAN2C1 antibody allows scientists to quantify these expression changes and assess protein�protein interactions that link glycan metabolism to oncogenesis.
Experimental use of the MAN2C1 antibody includes western blotting for protein detection, immunofluorescence for subcellular localization, and immunohistochemistry for tissue-level expression mapping. The enzyme is mainly cytoplasmic but may associate with endoplasmic reticulum membranes under certain physiological conditions. Researchers utilize the MAN2C1 antibody to characterize these distribution patterns and examine how post-translational modifications affect enzyme stability and activity.
Because glycoprotein metabolism influences immune recognition and cellular signaling, Mannosidase alpha class 2C member 1 has become an attractive research target across immunology, cancer, and metabolic disease. The MAN2C1 antibody provided by NSJ Bioreagents offers high specificity and reproducibility, supporting detailed investigation into glycan degradation pathways and their links to cellular health. By enabling consistent detection of this enzyme, the MAN2C1 antibody contributes to ongoing research that clarifies how mannose trimming supports homeostasis and how its dysregulation contributes to pathology.
Optimal dilution of the MAN2C1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
E.coli-derived human MAN2C1 recombinant protein (Position: A176-Q1027) was used as the immunogen for the MAN2C1 antibody.
After reconstitution, the MAN2C1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
