Anti-Interferon kappa antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the IFNK gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 207 amino acid residues and a mass of 25.2 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. It is reported to be expressed in keratinocytes, monocytes and in resting dendritic cells. A member of the Alpha/beta interferon protein family, it is believed to play a role in the regulation of immune cell function. Other names for this target antigen include IFN-kappa and interferon-like protein. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. A number of Interferon kappa antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
