Anti-karyopherin alpha 6 (importin alpha 7) antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the karyopherin alpha 6 (importin alpha 7) antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the KPNA6 gene, which encodes karyopherin subunit alpha 6. This protein is known to function in transcription by RNA polymerase II, among other biological roles. The human version of karyopherin alpha 6 (importin alpha 7) has a canonical amino acid length of 536 residues and a protein mass of 60 kilodaltons. It is reported to be widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include IPOA7, importin subunit alpha-7, and importin alpha 7 subunit.
