Anti-DMKN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein dermokine. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 476 amino acid residues and a mass of 47.1 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 16 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in epidermis; in the spinous and granular layers and in the placenta. A member of the Dermokine protein family, Dmkn is believed to act as a soluble regulator of keratinocyte differentiation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including O-glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include epidermis-specific secreted protein SK30/SK89. DMKN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Some Dmkn antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
