Anti-ADAMTS like 4 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the ADAMTSL4 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1074 amino acid residues and a mass of 116.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 3 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in colon, heart, leukocyte, liver, lung, skeletal muscle, spleen, testis and placenta. It is reported to be a positive regulation of apoptosis. Post-translational modifications have been described, including N-glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include TSRC1, ADAMTS-like protein 4, thrombospondin repeat-containing protein 1, and ECTOL2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. A number of ADAMTS like 4 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Immunofluorescence is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
