Anti-LIF receptor alpha antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the LIF receptor alpha antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the LIFR gene, which encodes LIF receptor subunit alpha. This protein is known to function in receptor-mediated signaling pathways and cytokine-mediated signaling pathways, among other biological roles. The human version of LIF receptor alpha has a canonical amino acid length of 1097 residues and a protein mass of 123.7 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane and is secreted of cells. Other names for this target antigen include CD118, SJS2, and STWS. A number of LIF receptor alpha antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
