Anti-CYP2A7 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily A member 7. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 494 amino acid residues and a mass of 56.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. It is notably expressed in the liver and testis. A member of the Cytochrome P450 protein family, CYP2A7 is known to be involved with metabolic processes. The CYP2A7 marker can be used to identify Periportal Hepatocytes and Mid Zone Hepatocytes.* Synonyms for this target antigen include CPAD, CYPIIA7, P450-IIA4, cytochrome P450 2A7, and CPA7. CYP2A7 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species.
