Anti-PTPRF antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type F. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1907 amino acid residues and a mass of 212.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the Protein-tyrosine phosphatase protein family, PTPRF is known to be involved with cell adhesion and cell migration. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include LAR, receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase F, LCA-homolog, leukocyte antigen-related (LAR) PTP receptor, and BNAH2. PTPRF gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of PTPRF antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunocytochemistry is also a common application.
