Anti-KIN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein Kin17 DNA and RNA binding protein. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 393 amino acid residues and a mass of 45.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the KIN17 protein family, KIN is known to be involved in DNA replication and the cellular response to DNA damage. Synonyms for this target antigen include KIN17, Rts2, DNA/RNA-binding protein KIN17, KIN, antigenic determinant of recA protein homolog, binding to curved DNA, and BTCD. KIN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of KIN antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
