Anti-ninein like antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the NINL gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1382 amino acid residues and a mass of 156.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in KYSE-150 esophageal carcinoma, HeLa cervical carcinoma and U2OS osteosarcoma cells. It is reported to be involved in microtubule organization in interphase cells. Post-translational modifications have been described, including ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Other names for this target antigen include NLP and ninein-like protein. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some ninein like antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
