Anti-PALMD antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein palmdelphin. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 551 amino acid residues and a mass of 62.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. A member of the Paralemmin protein family, PALMD is known to be involved with the regulation of cell shape. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation.
The PALMD marker can be used to identify Descending Vasa Recta Endothelial Cells, Afferent Arteriole Endothelial Cells, and Efferent Arteriole Endothelial Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include PALML, paralemmin-like protein, paralemnin-like protein, and C1orf11. PALMD gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some PALMD antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
