Anti-NDRG4 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein NDRG family member 4. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 352 amino acid residues and a mass of 38.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 8 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in the brain and heart. A member of the NDRG protein family, NDRG4 is said to contribute to the maintenance of intracerebral BDNF levels within the normal range, which is necessary for the preservation of spatial learning and the resistance to neuronal cell death caused by ischemic stress (By similarity). Synonyms for this target antigen include N-myc downstream-regulated gene 4 protein, brain development-related molecule 1, smooth muscle-associated protein 8, vascular smooth muscle cell-associated protein 8, and protein NDRG4. A number of NDRG4 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
