Anti-PAPLN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein papilin, proteoglycan like sulfated glycoprotein. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1278 amino acid residues and a mass of 137.7 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 6 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the Papilin protein family, PAPLN is known to be involved with extracellular matrix organization. Synonyms for this target antigen include papilin. PAPLN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some PAPLN antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunocytochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
