Anti-CD99 molecule like 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CD99L2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 262 amino acid residues and a mass of 28 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and is secreted. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 6 different isoforms for this protein. It is notably expressed in cerebrospinal fluid. A member of the CD99 protein family, it is reported to play a role in a late step of leukocyte extravasation helping cells to overcome the endothelial basement membrane. Post-translational modifications have been described, including O-glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include MIC2 like 1, MIC2-like protein 1, and CD99 antigen-like protein 2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some CD99 molecule like 2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
