Anti-Ian6 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Ian6 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the GIMAP8 gene, which encodes GTPase, IMAP family member 8. The human version of Ian6 has a canonical amino acid length of 665 residues and a protein mass of 74.9 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria, ER, Golgi, and cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Ian6 is a member of the AIG1/Toc34/Toc159-like paraseptin GTPase protein family.
