Anti-AK8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein adenylate kinase 8. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 479 amino acid residues and a mass of 54.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in respiratory cells. A member of the Adenylate kinase protein family, AK8 is known to be involved with protein phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include ATP-AMP transphosphorylase 8 and putative adenylate kinase-like protein C9orf98. AK8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the AK8 antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
