Anti-FAR2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein fatty acyl-CoA reductase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 515 amino acid residues and a mass of 59.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the peroxisomes. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Fatty acyl-CoA reductase protein family, FAR2 is known to catalyze the reduction of saturated but not unsaturated C16 or C18 fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. Synonyms for this target antigen include male sterility domain-containing protein 1, short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 10E, member 2, and epididymis secretory protein Li 81. FAR2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, chimpanzee and chicken species. Immunohistochemistry is the most common application for the FAR2 antibodies listed below. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
