Anti-chordin like 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CHRDL2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 429 amino acid residues and a mass of 47.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm and is secreted. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 5 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in uterus. It is believed to inhibit BMPs activity by blocking their interaction with their receptors. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation and glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include CHL2, chordin-like protein 2, breast tumor novel factor 1, chordin-related protein 2, and BNF1. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the chordin like 2 antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
