Anti-MFSD2A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein MFSD2 lysolipid transporter A, lysophospholipid. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 543 amino acid residues and a mass of 60.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER and cell membrane. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the Major facilitator protein superfamily, MFSD2A is known to be involved with brain development.
The MFSD2A marker can be used to identify Alveolar Type II Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A, major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 2A, sodium-dependent LPC symporter 1, and sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine symporter 1. MFSD2A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of MFSD2A antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
