Anti-CLEC17A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein C-type lectin domain containing 17A. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 378 amino acid residues and a mass of 42.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is noted to be expressed on dividing B-cells of germinal centers in various tissues, including lymph nodes, tonsils, stomach, intestine, appendix and spleen. CLEC17A is a reported cell surface receptor which may be involved in carbohydrate-mediated communication between cells in the germinal center. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation and glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include C-type lectin domain family 17 member A, prolectin, and C-type lectin domain family 17, member A. CLEC17A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, bovine and chimpanzee species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the CLEC17A antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
