Anti-CD160 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein CD160 molecule. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 181 amino acid residues and a mass of 19.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and is secreted. Up to 4 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. CD160 is known to be involved with adaptive immune responses and angiogenesis. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The CD160 marker can be used to identify Natural Killer (NK) Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include NK1, NK28, CD160 antigen, CD160-delta Ig, natural killer cell receptor BY55, and BY55. CD160 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Over 90 citations in the literature describe the use of CD160 antibodies in research. ELISA, Flow Cytometry, and Western Blot are common applications for these antibodies.
