Anti-von Willebrand factor C domain containing 2 like antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the VWC2L gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 222 amino acid residues and a mass of 24.6 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is believed to play a role in neurogenesis. Other names for this target antigen include VWC2-like protein, brorin-like, von Willebrand factor C domain containing protein 2 like, and von Willebrand factor C domain-containing protein 2-like. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
