Anti-BPIFA2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein BPI fold containing family A member 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 249 amino acid residues and a mass of 27 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. It is notably expressed in submandibular gland. A member of the Plunc protein family, BPIFA2 is known to have strong antibacterial activity against P. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include parotid secretory protein and short palate, lung and nasal epithelium carcinoma-associated protein 2. BPIFA2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species. Some BPIFA2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
