Anti-RPL17 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein ribosomal protein L17. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 184 amino acid residues and a mass of 21.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in the pancreas, lung, colon, cystic duct, gall bladder, kidney and liver. A member of the Universal ribosomal protein uL22 protein family, RPL17 is a known component of the large ribosomal subunit.
The RPL17 marker can be used to identify Mature CD4 Single-Positive Thymocytes.* Synonyms for this target antigen include PD-1, RPL23, uL22, 60S ribosomal protein L17, 60S ribosomal protein L23, and L17. RPL17 gene orthologs have been reported in the rat, bovine, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. A number of RPL17 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.
