Anti-XAPC7 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the XAPC7 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the PSMA7 gene, which encodes proteasome 20S subunit alpha 7. This protein is a known component of the 20S core proteasome complex involved in the proteolytic degradation of most intracellular proteins. The human version of XAPC7 has a canonical amino acid length of 248 residues and a protein mass of 27.9 kilodaltons, although 3 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include C6, HEL-S-276, and HSPC. Some XAPC7 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
