Anti-SCP2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein sterol carrier protein 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 547 amino acid residues and a mass of 59 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria, ER, and cytoplasm. Up to 8 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Thiolase protein family, SCP2 is known to be involved with protein localization to the plasma membrane. Post-translational modifications have been described, including protein cleavage. Synonyms for this target antigen include NSL-TP, SCOX, SCP-CHI, SCP-X, SCPX, SCP-2/3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase, SCP-2/thiolase, and NLTP. SCP2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of SCP2 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.
