Anti-DF antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the DF antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the CFD gene, which encodes complement factor D. This protein is known to function in proteolysis, among other biological roles. The human version of DF has a canonical amino acid length of 253 residues and a protein mass of 27 kilodaltons. It is reported to be a secreted protein. Other names for this target antigen include ADIPSIN, ADIPSIN, and ADN. Western Blot is the most common application for the DF antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
