Anti-FGF5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein fibroblast growth factor 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 268 amino acid residues and a mass of 29.6 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in neonatal brain. A member of the Heparin-binding growth factors protein family, FGF5 is known to play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include Smag-82, TCMGLY, heparin-binding growth factor 5, and HBGF-5. FGF5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of FGF5 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.
