Anti-Usherin antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the USH2A gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 5202 amino acid residues and a mass of 575.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell projections. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 3 different isoforms for this protein. It is known to be involved in hearing and vision as member of the USH2 complex. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Usher syndrome. Other names for this target antigen include US2, USH2, dJ1111A8.1, Usher syndrome 2A (autosomal recessive, mild), usher syndrome type IIa protein, and RP39. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Immunoprecipitation is the most common application for the Usherin antibodies listed below. ELISA and Western Blot are also common applications.
