Anti-POC7 antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target POC7 is a known alias name of the protein unc-119 lipid binding chaperone, encoded by the UNC119 gene in humans. This 240-amino acid residue protein is known to be involved in synaptic functions in photoreceptor cells, the signal transduction in immune cells as a Src family kinase activator, endosome recycling, the uptake of bacteria and endocytosis, protein trafficking in sensory neurons and as lipid-binding chaperone with specificity for a diverse subset of myristoylated proteins. It is localized to the cytoplasm of the cell and features phosphorylated post-translational modifications. In terms of tissue expression, it is found to be highly expressed in retina, in photoreceptor synapses and inner segments. Other synonyms for POC7 include CORD24, HRG4, and IMD13.
