Anti-succinate-CoA ligase GDP-forming subunit beta antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the SUCLG2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 432 amino acid residues and a mass of 46.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be mainly expressed in the liver, kidney, heart, spleen and skeletal muscle. A member of the Succinate/malate CoA ligase beta subunit protein family, it is known to be involved with metabolic processes. Other names for this target antigen include GBETA, GTPSCS, succinate--CoA ligase [GDP-forming] subunit beta, mitochondrial, GTP-specific succinyl-CoA synthetase beta subunit, and G-SCS. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
