Anti-CDS2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein CDP-diacylglycerol synthase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 445 amino acid residues and a mass of 51.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the CDS protein family, CDS2 is known to catalyze the conversion of phosphatidic acid (PA) to CDP-diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG), an essential intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin and phosphatidylinositol. Synonyms for this target antigen include CDP-DAG synthase 2, CDP-DG synthase 2, CDP-DG synthetase 2, CDP-diacylglycerol synthase (phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase) 2, and phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase 2. CDS2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some CDS2 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.
