Anti-LCA5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein lebercilin LCA5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 697 amino acid residues and a mass of 80.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the LCA5 protein family, LCA5 is known to be involved in intraflagellar protein (IFT) transport in photoreceptor cilia. The LCA5 gene has been associated with the disease, Leber congenital amaurosis. Synonyms for this target antigen include LCA5, lebercilin, epididymis secretory sperm binding protein, leber congenital amaurosis 5 protein, and lebercilin. LCA5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of LCA5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
