Anti-FAM161A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein FAM161 centrosomal protein A. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 660 amino acid residues and a mass of 76.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in the nasopharynx, lung, fallopian tube, and bronchus. A member of the FAM161 protein family, FAM161A is known to be involved in ciliogenesis. The FAM161A gene has been associated with the disease, Retinitis pigmentosa. Synonyms for this target antigen include FAM161A, centrosomal protein, family with sequence similarity 161 member A, retinitis pigmentosa 28 (autosomal recessive), and protein FAM161A. FAM161A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of FAM161A antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
