Anti-TDRD5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein tudor domain containing 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 981 amino acid residues and a mass of 109.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in the kidney and testis. A member of the TDRD5 protein family, TDRD5 is known to be required during spermiogenesis to participate in the repression transposable elements and prevent their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. Synonyms for this target antigen include tudor domain-containing protein 5 and testicular tissue protein Li 194. TDRD5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the TDRD5 antibodies listed below. ELISA, Immunoprecipitation, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
