Anti-IPO5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein importin 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1097 amino acid residues and a mass of 123.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the bone marrow, tonsil, and adipose tissue. A member of the Importin beta protein family, IPO5 is reported to function in nuclear protein import as nuclear transport receptor. Synonyms for this target antigen include KPNB3, Pse1, RANBP5, imp5, Kap beta3 import receptor, PSE1 homolog, RAN binding protein 5, and IMB3. IPO5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of IPO5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
