Anti-C6 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein complement C6. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 934 amino acid residues and a mass of 104.8 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. It is notably expressed in the kidney, fallopian tube, and breast. A member of the Complement C6/C7/C8/C9 protein family, C6 is known to be involved with in utero embryonic development and innate immune responses. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The C6 gene has been associated with the disease, Complement component 6 deficiency. Synonyms for this target antigen include complement component C6 and complement component 6. C6 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of C6 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
