Anti-La ribonucleoprotein 6, translational regulator antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the LARP6 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 491 amino acid residues and a mass of 54.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in numerous tissues. It is reported to regulate the coordinated translation of type I collagen alpha-1 and alpha-2 mRNAs, CO1A1 and CO1A2. Other names for this target antigen include la-related protein 6, La ribonucleoprotein domain family member 6, acheron, death-associated LA motif protein, and ACHN. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
