Anti-LSM1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein LSM1 homolog, mRNA degradation associated. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 133 amino acid residues and a mass of 15.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. A member of the SnRNP Sm proteins protein family, LSM1 is reported to play a role in the degradation of histone mRNAs, the only eukaryotic mRNAs that are not polyadenylated. Synonyms for this target antigen include YJL124C, U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm1, LSM1 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA associated, LSM1 mRNA degradation associated, and CASM. LSM1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some LSM1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
