Anti-LEU13 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the LEU13 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the IFITM1 gene, which encodes interferon induced transmembrane protein 1. This protein is known to function in receptor-mediated signaling pathways and viral immune response, among other biological roles. The human version of LEU13 has a canonical amino acid length of 125 residues and a protein mass of 14 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the lysosomes and cell membrane of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as the epididymis and skin. Other names for this target antigen include 45196, CD225, and DSPA2a. Western Blot is the most common application for the LEU13 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
