Anti-VPS41 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein VPS41 subunit of HOPS complex. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 854 amino acid residues and a mass of 98.6 kDa. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in cerebral cortex and cerebellum. A member of the VPS41 protein family, VPS41 is reported to play a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments including the endocytic membrane transport and autophagic pathways. The VPS41 gene has been associated with the disease, Spinocerebellar ataxia. Synonyms for this target antigen include HVSP41, SCAR29, hVps41p, vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 41 homolog, S53, and HVPS41. VPS41 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of VPS41 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.
