Anti-YARS antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the YARS antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the YARS1 gene, which encodes tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 1. This protein is known to function in the apoptotic pathway, among other biological roles. The human version of YARS has a canonical amino acid length of 528 residues and a protein mass of 59.1 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include CMTDIC, IMNEPD2, and TYRRS. A number of YARS 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.
