Anti-DES2 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the DES2 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the DEGS2 gene, which encodes delta 4-desaturase, sphingolipid 2. This protein is known to function in the metabolism of lipids, among other biological roles. The human version of DES2 has a canonical amino acid length of 323 residues and a protein mass of 37.2 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the ER of cells. DES2 is a member of the Fatty acid desaturase type 1 protein family. Indicated applications for DES2 antibodies listed below include ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry.
