Anti-DFNB31 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the DFNB31 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the WHRN gene, which encodes whirlin. This protein is known to function in cellular localization and the regulation of gene expression, among other biological roles. The human version of DFNB31 has a canonical amino acid length of 907 residues and a protein mass of 96.6 kilodaltons, although 4 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells. This target antigen may also be known as CIP98.
