Anti-AKIRIN2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein akirin 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 203 amino acid residues and a mass of 22.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is reported to be widely expressed with the highest expression in peripheral blood leukocytes. A member of the Akirin protein family, AKIRIN2 is reported to be a molecular adapter that acts as a bridge between a variety of multiprotein complexes, and which is involved in embryonic development, immunity, myogenesis and brain development. Synonyms for this target antigen include FBI1, dJ486L4.2, fourteen-three-three beta interactant 1, and C6orf166. AKIRIN2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some AKIRIN2 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.
