Anti-KIR2DL2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor, two Ig domains and long cytoplasmic tail 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 348 amino acid residues and a mass of 38.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. A member of the Immunoglobulin protein superfamily, KIR2DL2 is a known receptor on natural killer (NK) cells for HLA-Cw1, 3, 7, and 8 allotypes. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include CD158b, NKAT-6, NKAT6, p58.2, killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL2, and CD158B1. Over 200 citations in the literature describe the use of KIR2DL2 antibodies in research. Flow Cytometry is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
