Anti-DOK5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein docking protein 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 306 amino acid residues and a mass of 35.5 kDa. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in skeletal muscle, lower in the brain, heart and kidney. A member of the DOK protein family, DOK5 is known to be involved with the regulation of cell differentiation and MAPK cascade signaling pathways. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include downstream of tyrosine kinase 5 and insulin receptor substrate 6. DOK5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some DOK5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
