Anti-FAM163A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein family with sequence similarity 163 member A. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 167 amino acid residues and a mass of 17.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. It is reported to be highly expressed in neuroblastoma compared to other tissues, suggesting that it may be used as a marker for metastasis in bone marrow. It is a member of the FAM163 protein family. The FAM163A marker can be used to identify Thalamic Excitatory Neurons.* Synonyms for this target antigen include cebelin, neuroblastoma derived secretory protein, and protein FAM163A. FAM163A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some FAM163A antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
