Anti-DPPA2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein developmental pluripotency associated 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 298 amino acid residues and a mass of 33.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. It is reported to be expressed in embryonic stem cells. DPPA2 is known to bind to target gene promoters, including NKX2-5 and SYCE1, but not GATA4, and may be involved in the maintenance of the active epigenetic status of these genes. Synonyms for this target antigen include cancer/testis antigen 100, embryonic stem cell (ESC) associated transcript 15-2, pluripotent embryonic stem cell-related gene 1 protein, and developmental pluripotency-associated protein 2. DPPA2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Some DPPA2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
