Anti-otogelin like antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the OTOGL gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 2353 amino acid residues and a mass of 264.6 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. It is notably expressed at high levels in fetal inner ear and heart. A member of the Otogelin protein family, it is known to be involved with metabolic processes. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Deafness. Other names for this target antigen include otogelin-like protein. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. These otogelin like antibodies are widely used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
