Anti-(S8) antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the (S8) antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the RPS8 gene, which encodes ribosomal protein S8. This protein is known to function in protein translation, among other biological roles. The human version of (S8) has a canonical amino acid length of 208 residues and a protein mass of 24.2 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells. (S8) is a member of the Eukaryotic ribosomal protein eS8 protein family.
