Anti-IFT52 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein intraflagellar transport 52. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 437 amino acid residues and a mass of 49.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell projections. It is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the bronchus and fallopian tube. IFT52 is known to be involved in ciliogenesis as part of a complex involved in intraflagellar transport (IFT), the bi-directional movement of particles required for the assembly, maintenance and functioning of primary cilia. The IFT52 gene has been associated with the disease, Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 16 with or without polydactyly. Synonyms for this target antigen include CGI-53, NGD2, NGD5, intraflagellar transport protein 52 homolog, protein NGD5 homolog, and C20orf9. IFT52 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Ift52 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA and Western Blot are common applications for these antibodies.
