Anti-TMC8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein transmembrane channel like 8. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 726 amino acid residues and a mass of 81.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in the placenta, prostate and testis. A member of the TMC protein family, TMC8 is a suspected ion channel. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The TMC8 gene has been associated with the disease, Epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Synonyms for this target antigen include epidermodysplasia verruciformis 2, epidermodysplasia verruciformis protein 2, and transmembrane channel-like protein 8. TMC8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. Some TMC8 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
