A number of ELISA Kits are available that target Damp1, an alias of the protein, bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2. The human protein, encoded by the gene BST2, is a member of the Tetherin family. The protein's cellular localization is indicated to be cytoplasmic and membrane-associated. Additional synonyms or past names for this protein may include: CD317, TETHERIN. Homology is conserved in other species, such as Mouse, Rat.
