General description

Monoclonal Anti-TGN46 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma TGN46-52 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a fragment of human TGN46 conjugated to KLH. Trans-Golgi network protein 46-kDa (TGN46), It is a heavily glycosylated protein, containing a signal peptide, a lumenal domain, a membrane-spanning domain and a cytoplasmic domain. The membrane spanning region and the cytoplasmic tail contain the retention and retrieval signals for localization in the TGN.

Western Blotting (1 paper)

Monoclonal Anti-TGN46 antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Trans-Golgi network protein, 46-kDa (TGN46) is involved in regulating membrane traffic to and from the TGN. It cycles constitutively between the TGN and the plasma membrane, returning via endosomes.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
