Target/Specificity | This GGCX antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 548-578 amino acids from the Central region of human GGCX. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:50~100 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | GGCX Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GGCX |

Synonyms | GC |
Function | Mediates the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation of glutamate residues to calcium-binding gamma-carboxyglutamate (Gla) residues with the concomitant conversion of the reduced hydroquinone form of vitamin K to vitamin K epoxide (PubMed:17073445). Catalyzes gamma-carboxylation of various proteins, such as blood coagulation factors (F2, F7, F9 and F10), osteocalcin (BGLAP) or matrix Gla protein (MGP) (PubMed:17073445). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |

Background
This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the posttranslational modification of vitamin K-dependent protein. Many of these vitamin K-dependent proteins are involved in coagulation so the function of the encoded enzyme is essential for hemostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with vitamin K-dependent coagulation defect and PXE-like disorder with multiple coagulation factor deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
