Anti-SMIM1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein small integral membrane protein 1 (Vel blood group). In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 78 amino acid residues and a mass of 8.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is reported to be highly expressed in the bone marrow and expressed at lower levels in non-hematopoietic tissues. A member of the SMIM1 protein family, SMIM1 is a reported regulator of red blood cell formation. Synonyms for this target antigen include bloodgroup VEL protein, vel blood group antigen, and small integral membrane protein 1. SMIM1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. ELISA is a widely used application for the SMIM1 antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
