Anti-NHP2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein NHP2 ribonucleoprotein. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 153 amino acid residues and a mass of 17.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. It is reported to be expressed in the brain, colon, heart, kidney, ovary, pancreas, placenta, prostate, skeletal muscle, small intestine, spleen, testis and thymus. A member of the Eukaryotic ribosomal protein eL8 protein family, Nhp2 is known to be required for ribosome biogenesis and telomere maintenance. Synonyms for this target antigen include NHP2 ribonucleoprotein homolog, NHP2-like protein, nucleolar protein family A, member 2 (H/ACA small nucleolar RNPs), snoRNP protein NHP2, and H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex subunit 2. NHP2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Nhp2 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.
