Anti-PCDHB5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein protocadherin beta 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 795 amino acid residues and a mass of 86.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the cerebellum and endometrium. PCDHB5 is known to be involved with cell adhesion and chemical synaptic transmission. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include PCDH-BETA5 and PCDH-beta-5. PCDHB5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species. Some PCDHB5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
