Anti-LMP7 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the LMP7 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the PSMB8 gene, which encodes proteasome 20S subunit beta 8. This protein is known to function in fat cell differentiation, among other biological roles. The human version of LMP7 has a canonical amino acid length of 276 residues and a protein mass of 30.4 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include ALDD, D6S216, and D6S216E. Some LMP7 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
