Anti-AHCYL1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein adenosylhomocysteinase like 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 530 amino acid residues and a mass of 59 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane, ER, and cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in dendritic cells. A member of the Adenosylhomocysteinase protein family, it is known to be involved with the apoptotic pathway and the transport of ions. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include IRBIT, PPP1R78, PRO0233, XPVKONA, S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase-like protein 1, and DCAL.
