Anti-LSM8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein LSM8 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA associated. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 96 amino acid residues and a mass of 10.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. A member of the SnRNP Sm proteins protein family, LSM8 is known to play a role in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the U4/U6-U5 tri-snRNP complex that is involved in spliceosome assembly, and as component of the precatalytic spliceosome (spliceosome B complex). Synonyms for this target antigen include LSM8 U6 small nuclear RNA associated, MAK31-like protein, U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm8, and NAA38. LSM8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some LSM8 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunocytochemistry are also common applications.
