Anti-CD231 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the CD231 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the TSPAN7 gene, which encodes tetraspanin 7. This protein is suspected to be involved in cell proliferation and cell motility. The human version of CD231 has a canonical amino acid length of 249 residues and a protein mass of 27.6 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as the colon and duodenum. Other names for this target antigen include A15 and CCG-B7.
