Anti-Glycerol Kinase 5 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the GK5 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 529 amino acid residues and a mass of 59.2 kDa. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 3 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the FGGY kinase protein family, it is known to be involved with protein phosphorylation. Other names for this target antigen include ATP:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase 5, glycerokinase 5, glycerol kinase 5 (putative), and putative glycerol kinase 5. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some Glycerol Kinase 5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
