Anti-DCAF8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 8. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 597 amino acid residues and a mass of 66.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the WD repeat DCAF8 protein family, DCAF8 is believed to function as a a substrate receptor for CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. The DCAF8 gene has been associated with the disease, Giant axonal neuropathy. Synonyms for this target antigen include H326, WDR42A, WD repeat domain 42A, WD repeat-containing protein 42A, and GAN2. DCAF8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some DCAF8 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
