Anti-CD246 antibodies are protein reagents that detect specific antigens. The CD246 antigen is another term for the human protein ALK receptor tyrosine kinase, encoded by the ALK gene. The protein is known to function in brain development and the metabolism of lipids, among other biological roles. Canonically, it has an amino acid length of 1620 residues and a mass of 176.4 kilodaltons. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and it is reported to be expressed in the brain and CNS. The CD246 protein is a member of the Tyr protein kinase protein family. Other alias names for CD246 include ALK1 and NBLST3. A number of CD246 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
