Anti-C6orf172 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the C6orf172 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the RNF217 gene, which encodes ring finger protein 217. This protein is known to function in protein ubiquitination, among other biological roles. The human version of C6orf172 has a canonical amino acid length of 542 residues and a protein mass of 59.4 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the membrane and cytoplasm of cells. C6orf172 is a member of the RBR protein family.
