Anti-TAFA chemokine like family member 1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the TAFA1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 133 amino acid residues and a mass of 14.9 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. It is reported to have brain-specific expression. A member of the TAFA protein family, it is reported to be a regulatory factor, which is ligand for CMKLR2 and is involved in the modulation of neural stem-cell proliferation and differentiation. Other names for this target antigen include family with sequence similarity 19 (chemokine (C-C motif)-like), member A1, family with sequence similarity 19 member A1, C-C motif chemokine like, protein FAM19A1, and chemokine-like protein TAFA-1. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
