Anti-killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor, two Ig domains and long cytoplasmic tail 5A antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the KIR2DL5A gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 375 amino acid residues and a mass of 40.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. A member of the Immunoglobulin protein superfamily, it is a known receptor on natural killer (NK) cells for HLA-C alleles. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor KIR2DL5A, killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor, two domains, long cytoplasmic tail, 5, and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL5A. Over 120 citations in the literature describe the use of killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor, two Ig domains and long cytoplasmic tail 5A antibodies in research. These antibodies are most commonly used in Flow Cytometry experiments, among other applications.
