Monoclonal Anti-HEXA antibody produced in mouse

Hexosaminidase subunit alpha (HEXA) gene is located on the human chromosome 15q23-q24. HEXA is found to be associated with the external leaflet of plasma membrane of human fibroblasts. α and β subunits of HEXA have 57% of similarity in their amino acid sequences.

HEXA (AAH18927, 1 a.a. ~ 529 a.a) full-length recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Hexosaminidase subunit alpha (HEXA) degrades the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins, glycolipids and proteoglycans. Mutations in the α chain of HEXA impairs folding, trafficking and enzyme assembly. Lysosomal β-hexosaminidase α subunit is downregulated in prostate cancer cells due to hypermethylation of gene promoter.
