Anti-Ornithine Transcarbamylase antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the OTC gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 354 amino acid residues and a mass of 39.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. It is reported to be mainly expressed in the liver and intestinal mucosa. A member of the OTCase protein family, it is known to catalyze the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline. Other names for this target antigen include OTC1, OTCD, OTCase, ornithine transcarbamylase, mitochondrial, ornithine carbamoyltransferase, mitochondrial, and OCTD. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Ornithine Transcarbamylase antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
