Background:

GGCX (γ-glutamyl carboxylase), also known as GC or VKCFD1 (Vitamin K-dependent γ-carboxylase), is a 758 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein. Localized to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, GGCX functions to mediate the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation of glutamate residues on target proteins, thereby producing calcium binding γ-carboxyglutamate (Gla) residues on these proteins and simultaneously converting vitamin K to vitamin K epoxide. GGCX exists as a monomer and, via its ability to modify glutamate residues, it accomplishes the post-translational changes that are necessary for the activity of all vitamin K-dependent proteins (such as blood coagulation and bone matrix proteins). Defects in the gene encoding GGCX are the cause of combined deficiency of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors 1 (VKCFD1) and PXE-like disorder with multiple coagulation factor deficiency, both of which are characterized by abnormal skin, blood or bone function.

Specificity:

GGCX polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of GGCX protein.
