Anti-LILRB5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein leukocyte immunoglobulin like receptor B5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 590 amino acid residues and a mass of 64.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in a natural killer (NK) cells. LILRB5 is believed to act as receptor for class I MHC antigens. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include LIR-8, LIR8, leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 5, CD85 antigen-like family member C, and CD85C. LILRB5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species. Some LILRB5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Western Blot are also common applications.
