Anti-Aciculin antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Aciculin antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the PGM5 gene, which encodes phosphoglucomutase 5. This protein is known to function in carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis and cell adhesion, among other biological roles. The human version of Aciculin has a canonical amino acid length of 567 residues and a protein mass of 62.2 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm of cells and notably expressed in the smooth muscle, small intestine, kidney, heart muscle, and adrenal gland. Other names for this target antigen include PGMRP, phosphoglucomutase-like protein 5, and PGM-RP.
