Anti-acylphosphatase 1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the ACYP1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 99 amino acid residues and a mass of 11.3 kDa. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Acylphosphatase protein family, it is known to be involved with metabolic processes. Other names for this target antigen include acylphosphatase 1, erythrocyte (common) type, acylphosphatase, erythrocyte isozyme, acylphosphatase, organ-common type isozyme, acylphosphate phosphohydrolase 1, and ACYPE. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some acylphosphatase 1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
