Anti-TENT5A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein terminal nucleotidyltransferase 5A. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 442 amino acid residues and a mass of 49.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is found to be widely expressed, with preferential expression observed in the retina compared to other ocular tissues. A member of the TENT protein family, TENT5A is known to be involved with osteoblast differentiation.
The TENT5A marker can be used to identify Lower Rhombic Lip Neurons.* Synonyms for this target antigen include HBV XAg-transactivated protein 11, family with sequence similarity 46 member A, protein FAM46A, putative nucleotidyltransferase FAM46A, and HBV X-transactivated gene 11 protein. TENT5A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the TENT5A antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
