Anti-CHC antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the CHC antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the CLTC gene, which encodes clathrin heavy chain. This protein is known to function in autophagy pathways and cell division, among other biological roles. The human version of CHC has a canonical amino acid length of 1675 residues and a protein mass of 191.6 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the membrane, cytoplasmic vesicles, and cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. This target antigen may also be known as CHC17. Western Blot is the most common application for the CHC antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
