PGM1 functions at the crossroads of glycogen metabolism and glycolysis, influencing energy storage and utilization in multiple tissues including liver, muscle, and brain. The enzyme requires magnesium ions and a phosphoserine residue at its active site for catalytic activity. The PGM1 antibody is an essential reagent for biochemical and metabolic research, enabling analysis of energy metabolism, glycogen synthesis disorders, and enzymatic regulation across diverse physiological systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePGM1 is encoded by the PGM1 gene on human chromosome 1p31.3. It belongs to the phosphoglucomutase family, which includes several isoforms with distinct tissue distributions. The protein is composed of four structural domains forming a catalytic cleft that coordinates substrate binding and phosphoryl transfer. PGM1 deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by impaired glycogen metabolism, hypoglycemia, and variable involvement of muscle and liver function. Mutations in the gene lead to partial or complete loss of enzyme activity, resulting in congenital disorder of glycosylation type It (PGM1-CDG).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PGM1 antibody is commonly used in western blot and immunohistochemistry to detect the 61-63 kDa cytosolic protein. Expression studies demonstrate high levels in metabolically active tissues, including skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and hepatocytes. Immunofluorescence assays localize PGM1 primarily to the cytoplasm, consistent with its role in glucose metabolism. Functional studies have linked PGM1 activity to the regulation of glycogenolysis and the maintenance of glucose flux during fasting or exercise. Because of its importance in energy homeostasis, PGM1 serves as a biomarker for metabolic adaptation and carbohydrate-processing disorders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePGM1 interacts with glycolytic enzymes and participates in metabolic channeling, facilitating efficient substrate transfer within enzymatic complexes. Recent work has shown that PGM1 expression may change in response to hypoxia, oxidative stress, and insulin signaling.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=PGM1 - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=PGM1 - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=PGM1 - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/PGM1 - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=PGM1+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047288103277,"sku":"FY12445","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_bf4e28af-2f7c-469e-bcf9-763bf642d8b5.jpg?v=1782237005","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/pgm1-antibody-phosphoglucomutase-1-bha17135348","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
