Anti-lebercilin LCA5 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the LCA5 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 697 amino acid residues and a mass of 80.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the LCA5 protein family, it is known to be involved in intraflagellar protein (IFT) transport in photoreceptor cilia. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis. Other names for this target antigen include LCA5, lebercilin, epididymis secretory sperm binding protein, leber congenital amaurosis 5 protein, and lebercilin. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
