Anti-TROAP antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein trophinin associated protein. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 778 amino acid residues and a mass of 83.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. TROAP is suspected to be involved in with bystin and trophinin in a cell adhesion molecule complex that mediates an initial attachment of the blastocyst to uterine epithelial cells at the time of the embryo implantation. Synonyms for this target antigen include trophinin assisting protein, trophinin-assisting protein (tastin), and TASTIN. TROAP gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. A number of TROAP antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
