Anti-Gastrokine 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the GKN2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 184 amino acid residues and a mass of 20.5 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. It is reported to be expressed in gastric mucosa. It is noted to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. Other names for this target antigen include blottin, down-regulated in gastric cancer GDDR, trefoil factor interactions(z) 1, and BRICHOS domain containing 1B. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some Gastrokine 2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
