Anti-Neuronal pentraxin 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the NPTX2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 431 amino acid residues and a mass of 47 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. It is noted to be involved in chemical synaptic transmission. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include NP-II, NP2, apexin, neuronal activity-regulated pentaxin, neuronal pentraxin II, and NARP. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Neuronal pentraxin 2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
