Anti-retinoschisin 1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the RS1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 224 amino acid residues and a mass of 25.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and is secreted. It is known to bind negatively charged membrane lipids, such as phosphatidylserine and phosphoinositides (By similarity). The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Retinoschisis juvenile X-linked. Other names for this target antigen include XLRS1, retinoschisin, X-linked juvenile retinoschisis protein, and RS. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some retinoschisin 1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
