Anti-C5orf42 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the C5orf42 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the CPLANE1 gene, which encodes ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector complex subunit 1. This protein is known to function in cilium assembly, among other biological roles. The human version of C5orf42 has a canonical amino acid length of 3197 residues and a protein mass of 361.7 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types.
