Anti-ADAT2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein adenosine deaminase tRNA specific 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 191 amino acid residues and a mass of 21 kDa. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the appendix, urinary bladder, and adrenal gland. A member of the Cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase protein family, ADAT2 is suspected to be participates in deamination of adenosine-34 to inosine in many tRNAs. Synonyms for this target antigen include adenosine deaminase, tRNA-specific 2, TAD2 homolog, deaminase domain containing 1, deaminase domain-containing protein 1, and tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase 2. ADAT2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some ADAT2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
