Anti-MTC1 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the MTC1 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the RET gene, which encodes ret proto-oncogene. This protein is known to function in the apoptotic pathway and axon guidance, among other biological roles. The human version of MTC1 has a canonical amino acid length of 1114 residues and a protein mass of 124.3 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as the colon and parathyroid gland. Other names for this target antigen include CDHF12, CDHR16, and HSCR1. Western Blot is the most common application for the MTC1 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
