Anti-ADAMTS like 5 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the ADAMTSL5 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 481 amino acid residues and a mass of 53.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is believed to play a role in modulation of fibrillin microfibrils in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation and protein cleavage. Other names for this target antigen include thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing protein 6, thrombospondin, type I, domain containing 6, and ADAMTS-like protein 5. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of ADAMTS like 5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
