Anti-CCN5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein cellular communication network factor 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 250 amino acid residues and a mass of 26.8 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in primary osteoblasts, fibroblasts, ovary, testes, and heart. A member of the CCN protein family, CCN5 is believed to play an important role in modulating bone turnover. Synonyms for this target antigen include CTGF-L, WISP2, CCN family member 5, WNT1 inducible signaling pathway protein 2, connective tissue growth factor-like protein, and CT58. CCN5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some CCN5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
