Anti-UPP2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein uridine phosphorylase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 317 amino acid residues and a mass of 35.5 kDa. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in the kidney. A member of the PNP/UDP phosphorylase protein family, upp2 is known to catalyze the reversible phosphorylytic cleavage of uridine and deoxyuridine to uracil and ribose- or deoxyribose-1-phosphate. Synonyms for this target antigen include liver-specific uridine phosphorylase, urdPase 2, and UPase 2. UPP2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the upp2 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
