Anti-DAZL antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein deleted in azoospermia like. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 295 amino acid residues and a mass of 33.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to have testis-specific expression. A member of a the RRM DAZ protein family, DAZL is reported to be a rna-binding protein, which is essential for gametogenesis in both males and females. Synonyms for this target antigen include DAZL1, DAZLA, SPGYLA, DAZ homolog, DAZ-like autosomal, SPGY-like-autosomal, deleted in azoospermia-like 1, and DAZH.
