Anti-ITIH5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 942 amino acid residues and a mass of 104.6 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 4 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is found to be highly expressed in the placenta. A member of the ITIH protein family, ITIH5 is believed to act as a tumor suppressor. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include ITI heavy chain H5, inter-alpha (globulin) inhibitor H5, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain family member 5, and inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H5. ITIH5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the ITIH5 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
