Anti-dvc-1 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the dvc-1 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the SPRTN gene, which encodes SprT-like N-terminal domain. This protein is known to function in DNA damage pathways and proteolysis, among other biological roles. The human version of dvc-1 has a canonical amino acid length of 489 residues and a protein mass of 55.1 kilodaltons, although 3 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus of cells. dvc-1 is a member of the Spartan protein family.
