Anti-CLMP antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein CXADR like membrane protein. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 373 amino acid residues and a mass of 41.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is reported to be highly expressed in the epithelial cells within different tissues and in the white adipose tissue. CLMP is suspected to be involved in the cell-cell adhesion. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation.
The CLMP marker can be used to identify Medullary Fibroblasts.* Synonyms for this target antigen include adipocyte-specific adhesion molecule, coxsackie- and adenovirus receptor-like membrane protein, and CAR-like membrane protein. CLMP gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some CLMP antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
