Anti-actin beta like 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the ACTBL2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 376 amino acid residues and a mass of 42 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. It is a member of the Actin protein family. Post-translational modifications have been described, including protein cleavage. Other names for this target antigen include actin-like protein, kappa-actin, and beta-actin-like protein 2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species.
