Anti-NXPH1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein neurexophilin 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 271 amino acid residues and a mass of 31.1 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. A member of the Neurexophilin protein family, NXPH1 is believed to be signaling molecules that resemble neuropeptides and that act by binding to alpha-neurexins and possibly other receptors. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The NXPH1 marker can be used to identify Cerebellar Inhibitory Neurons.* Synonyms for this target antigen include NPH1 and Nbla00697. NXPH1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some NXPH1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
