Anti-ceramide kinase like antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CERKL gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 558 amino acid residues and a mass of 62.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 8 different isoforms for this protein. It is known to have no detectable ceramide-kinase activity. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Retinitis pigmentosa. Other names for this target antigen include ceramide kinase-like protein. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the ceramide kinase like antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
