Anti-NAPA antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein NSF attachment protein alpha. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 295 amino acid residues and a mass of 33.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the SNAP protein family, NAPA is known to be required for vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus (Probable). Synonyms for this target antigen include alpha-soluble NSF attachment protein, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein, alpha, alpha-SNAP, and SNAPA. NAPA gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of NAPA antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
