Anti-MS2 antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target MS2 is a known alias name of the protein ADAM metallopeptidase domain 8, encoded by the ADAM8 gene in humans. This 824-amino acid residue protein is known to be involved in angiogenesis and cell adhesion, among other biological processes. It is localized to the membrane of the cell and features glycosylated post-translational modifications. In terms of tissue expression, it is noted to be expressed on neutrophils and monocytes.
