Anti-SERPINB8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein serpin family B member 8. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 374 amino acid residues and a mass of 42.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Serpin protein family, SERPINB8 is known to have an important role in epithelial desmosome-mediated cell-cell adhesion. The SERPINB8 gene has been associated with the disease, Peeling skin syndrome. Synonyms for this target antigen include CAP2, PI-8, PI8, PSS5, cytoplasmic antiproteinase 2, and C18orf53. SERPINB8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species. Some SERPINB8 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
