Anti-LCTL antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein lactase like. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 567 amino acid residues and a mass of 65.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the Glycosyl hydrolase 1 protein family, LCTL is reported to play a role in formation of the lens suture in the eye, which is important for normal optical properties of the lens. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include KL lactase phlorizin hydrolase, gammaklotho, klotho gamma, klotho/lactase-phlorizin hydrolase-related protein, and lactase-like protein. LCTL gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the LCTL antibodies listed below. Immunocytochemistry and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
