Anti-TIMM8B antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 8 homolog B. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 83 amino acid residues and a mass of 9.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. It is found to be widely expressed, with highest expression in the heart, kidney, liver and skeletal muscle. A member of the Small Tim protein family, TIMM8B is a suspected mitochondrial intermembrane chaperone that participates in the import and insertion of some multi-pass transmembrane proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane. Synonyms for this target antigen include TIM8B, mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit Tim8 B, DDP-like protein, deafness dystonia protein 2, and DDP2. TIMM8B gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. Immunohistochemistry is the most common application for the TIMM8B antibodies listed below. ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
