Anti-Deoxycytidine Kinase antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the DCK gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 260 amino acid residues and a mass of 30.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. A member of the DCK/DGK protein family, it is known to be involved with protein phosphorylation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Other names for this target antigen include deoxyadenosine kinase and deoxynucleoside kinase. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Over 50 citations in the literature describe the use of Deoxycytidine Kinase antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
