Anti-CYC antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the CYC antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the CYCS gene, which encodes cytochrome c, somatic. This protein is known to function in the apoptotic pathway, among other biological roles. The human version of CYC has a canonical amino acid length of 105 residues and a protein mass of 11.7 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include HCS and THC4. Western Blot is the most common application for the CYC antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
