Anti-YMP antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the YMP antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the EMP3 gene, which encodes epithelial membrane protein 3. This protein is suspected to be involved in cell proliferation and cell-cell interactions. The human version of YMP has a canonical amino acid length of 163 residues and a protein mass of 18.4 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells. YMP is a member of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 protein family.
