Anti-MAP17 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the MAP17 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the PDZK1IP1 gene, which encodes PDZK1 interacting protein 1. This protein is believed to play an important role in tumor biology. The human version of MAP17 has a canonical amino acid length of 114 residues and a protein mass of 12.2 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as the gallbladder and kidney. Other names for this target antigen include DD96 and SPAP.
