Anti-SYCP2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein synaptonemal complex protein 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1530 amino acid residues and a mass of 175.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. A member of the SYCP2 protein family, SYCP2 is reported to be a major component of the axial/lateral elements of synaptonemal complexes (SCS) during meiotic prophase. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. The SYCP2 gene has been associated with the disease, Spermatogenic failure. Synonyms for this target antigen include SCP2, SPGF1, synaptonemal complex lateral element protein, and SCP-2. SYCP2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some SYCP2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
