Anti-ELOVL4 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein ELOVL fatty acid elongase 4. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 314 amino acid residues and a mass of 36.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. It is reported to be expressed in the retina and at much lower level in the brain. A member of the ELO protein family, ELOVL4 is known to catalyze the first and rate-limiting reaction of the four reactions that constitute the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle. Post-translational modifications have been described, including N-glycosylation.
The ELOVL4 marker can be used to identify Double-Positive ?ß Thymocytes.* Synonyms for this target antigen include CT118, ISQMR, SCA34, STGD2, STGD3, and ADMD. ELOVL4 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of ELOVL4 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
