Anti-PGBD5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein piggyBac transposable element derived 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 524 amino acid residues and a mass of 58.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. PGBD5 is a reported transposase that mediates sequence-specific genomic rearrangements. Synonyms for this target antigen include piggyBac domain related protein 5, piggyBac transposase 5, and piggyBac transposable element-derived protein 5. PGBD5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Immunohistochemistry is the most common application for the PGBD5 antibodies listed below. Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry are also common applications.
