Anti-dpy-19 like 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the DPY19L2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 758 amino acid residues and a mass of 87.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be widely expressed with high expression in testis. A member of the Dpy-19 protein family, it is a suspected C-mannosyltransferase that mediates C-mannosylation of tryptophan residues on target proteins. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Spermatogenic failure. Other names for this target antigen include protein dpy-19 homolog 2, spermatogenesis associated 34, and probable C-mannosyltransferase DPY19L2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Some dpy-19 like 2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
