Anti-nyctalopin antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the NYX gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 481 amino acid residues and a mass of 52 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. It is reported to be expressed in the kidney and retina. It is a member of the Small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) protein family. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Night blindness. Other names for this target antigen include leucine-rich repeat protein. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the nyctalopin antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
