Anti-ACER2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein alkaline ceramidase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 275 amino acid residues and a mass of 31.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the Golgi. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in the placenta. A member of the Alkaline ceramidase protein family, ACER2 is reported to be a golgi ceramidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ceramides into sphingoid bases like sphingosine and free fatty acids at alkaline pH. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include alkaline CDase 2, ceramide hydrolase, haCER2, and alkCDase 2. ACER2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some ACER2 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.
