Anti-TSPY like 5 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the TSPYL5 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 417 amino acid residues and a mass of 45.1 kDa. A member of the Nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) protein family, it is known to be involved in modulation of cell growth and cellular response to gamma radiation probably via regulation of the Akt signaling pathway. Other names for this target antigen include testis-specific Y-encoded-like protein 5 and TSPY-like protein 5. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Some TSPY like 5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
