Anti-C1QL2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein complement C1q like 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 287 amino acid residues and a mass of 29.5 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. C1QL2 is believed to regulate the number of excitatory synapses that are formed on hippocampus neurons. The C1QL2 marker can be used to identify Amacrine Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include C1q and tumor necrosis factor-related protein 10, C1q-domain containing protein, C1q/TNF-related protein 10, complement component 1, q subcomponent-like 2, and complement C1q-like protein 2. C1QL2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
