Anti-phosphodiesterase 6A antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the PDE6A gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 860 amino acid residues and a mass of 99.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. A member of the Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase protein family, it is known to be involved with eye development and signal transduction pathways. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Retinitis pigmentosa. Other names for this target antigen include PDEA, RP43, rod cGMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase subunit alpha, GMP-PDE alpha, PDE V-B1, and CGPR-A. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. A number of phosphodiesterase 6A 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.
