Anti-XK related 8 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the XKR8 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 395 amino acid residues and a mass of 44.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. A member of the XK protein family, it is known to be involved with the apoptotic pathway and cellular localization. Post-translational modifications have been described, including protein cleavage and phosphorylation. Other names for this target antigen include hXkr8, XK-related protein 8, X Kell blood group precursor-related family, member 8, X-linked Kx blood group related 8, XK, Kell blood group complex subunit-related family, member 8, and XRG8. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the XK related 8 antibodies listed below. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
