Anti-VASN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein vasorin. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 673 amino acid residues and a mass of 71.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane and is secreted. It is reported to be expressed at highest levels in aorta, at intermediate levels in the kidney and placenta and at lowest levels in the brain, heart, liver, lung and skeletal muscle. VASN is believed to act as an inhibitor of TGF-beta signaling. Post-translational modifications have been described, including N-glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include protein slit-like 2 and slit-like 2. VASN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of VASN antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
