Anti-CRYGS antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein crystallin gamma S. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 178 amino acid residues and a mass of 21 kDa. It is notably expressed in the kidney, hippocampus, eye, cerebellum, and caudate. A member of the Beta/gamma-crystallin protein family, CRYGS is known to be involved with eye development. The CRYGS gene has been associated with the disease, Cataracts. Synonyms for this target antigen include CTRCT20, gamma-crystallin S, beta-crystallin S, crystallin, gamma 8, and CRYG8. CRYGS gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the CRYGS antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunofluorescence is also a common application.
