Anti-KIR2DL5A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor, two Ig domains and long cytoplasmic tail 5A. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 375 amino acid residues and a mass of 40.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. A member of the Immunoglobulin protein superfamily, KIR2DL5A is a known receptor on natural killer (NK) cells for HLA-C alleles. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor KIR2DL5A, killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor, two domains, long cytoplasmic tail, 5, and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL5A. Over 120 citations in the literature describe the use of KIR2DL5A antibodies in research. These antibodies are most commonly used in Flow Cytometry experiments, among other applications.
