Anti-plexin C1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the PLXNC1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1568 amino acid residues and a mass of 175.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. It is notably expressed in fetal brain, lung, spleen and placenta. A member of the Plexin protein family, it is a known receptor for SEMA7A, for smallpox semaphorin A39R, vaccinia virus semaphorin A39R and for herpesvirus Sema protein. Other names for this target antigen include VESPR, plexin (semaphorin receptor), receptor for viral semaphorin protein, receptor for virally-encoded semaphorin, virus-encoded semaphorin protein receptor, and CD232. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of plexin C1 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
