Anti-lysozyme like 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the LYZL2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 148 amino acid residues and a mass of 16.7 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in the testis, epididymis and placenta. A member of the Glycosyl hydrolase 22 protein family, it is known to be involved with metabolic processes. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include lysozyme D2, lysozyme-2, and lysozyme-like protein 2. ELISA is the most common application for the lysozyme like 2 antibodies listed below. Immunocytochemistry and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
