Anti-YPEL5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein yippee like 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 121 amino acid residues and a mass of 13.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Yippee protein family, Ypel5 is a known component of the CTLH E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that selectively accepts ubiquitin from UBE2H and mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of the transcription factor HBP1. Synonyms for this target antigen include CGI-127 and protein yippee-like 5. YPEL5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some Ypel5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
