Anti-chondroadherin like antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CHADL gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 762 amino acid residues and a mass of 82.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) protein family, it is known to be involved with the regulation of cell differentiation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include chondroadherin-like protein. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for chondroadherin like antibodies.
