Anti-C1orf56 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein chromosome 1 open reading frame 56. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 341 amino acid residues and a mass of 36.8 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in plasma. C1orf56 is known to be involved in control of cellular proliferation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include protein MENT, methylated in normal thymocytes protein, and MENT. C1orf56 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for C1orf56 antibodies.
