Anti-ALKBH7 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein alkB homolog 7. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 221 amino acid residues and a mass of 24.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. It is found to be widely expressed, with highest expression in the pancreas, followed by spleen, prostate, ovary and placenta. A member of the AlkB protein family, ALKBH7 is believed to function as a protein hydroxylase; can catalyze auto-hydroxylation at Leu-110 (in vitro), but this activity may be due to the absence of the true substrate. Synonyms for this target antigen include alkB, alkylation repair homolog 7, alkylated DNA repair protein alkB homolog 7, probable alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase ABH7, and alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 7, mitochondrial. ALKBH7 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. Some ALKBH7 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
