Anti-CCT5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 541 amino acid residues and a mass of 59.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the TCP-1 chaperonin protein family, CCT5 is a known component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a molecular chaperone complex that assists the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis. Post-translational modifications have been described, including ubiquitination. Synonyms for this target antigen include CCTE, HEL-S-69, PNAS-102, TCP-1-epsilon, T-complex protein 1 subunit epsilon, and CCT-epsilon. CCT5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of CCT5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
