Anti-MSL2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein MSL complex subunit 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 577 amino acid residues and a mass of 62.5 kDa. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the MSL2 protein family, MSL2 is known to be a component of histone acetyltransferase complex responsible for the majority of histone H4 acetylation at lysine 16 which is implicated in the formation of higher-order chromatin structure. Synonyms for this target antigen include RNF184, E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MSL2, E3 ubiquitin-protein transferase MSL2, MSL2-like 1, male-specific lethal 2 homolog, and MSL2L1. MSL2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of MSL2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
