Anti-NACAD antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein NAC alpha domain containing. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1562 amino acid residues and a mass of 161.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the cerebellum and cerebral cortex. A member of the NAC-alpha protein family, NACAD is believed to prevent inappropriate targeting of non-secretory polypeptides to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Synonyms for this target antigen include NAC-alpha domain-containing protein 1. NACAD gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the NACAD antibodies listed below. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
