Background Information
TGN46 (TGOLN2), the human homolog of rat Tgn38, is a transmembrane glycoprotein predominantly localized to the TGN (trans-Golgi network). TGN is a major secretory pathway sorting station for proteins and lipids. TGN46 may be involved in regulating membrane traffic to and from TGN. Alternatively, spliced transcript variants encode different TGN46 isoforms. TGN46 has an apparent molecular mass of 100-150 kDa, suggesting extensive O- and N-glycosylations.

Reviews
What customers say
Users rate this antibody 4–5 stars across Western Blot and Immunofluorescence applications. It performs well for Golgi/TGN46 staining in HEK293T and RPE cells, with clear localization at dilutions of 1:100–1:300. For WB, it detects two bands around 85 kDa at 1:2,500. Reviewers highlight reliable Golgi staining, compatibility with co-staining (e.g., EEA1, DAPI), and straightforward protocols using standard fixation and blocking conditions. Overall, it is regarded as a dependable reagent for both IF and WB.
