Anti-VIL antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the VIL antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the VIL1 gene, which encodes villin 1. This protein is known to function in epithelial cell differentiation, among other biological roles. The human version of VIL has a canonical amino acid length of 827 residues and a protein mass of 92.7 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells and notably expressed in the kidney, gallbladder, duodenum, colon, and appendix. This target antigen may also be known as D2S1471. Western Blot is the most common application for the VIL antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
