Anti-MD2 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the MD2 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the LY96 gene, which encodes lymphocyte antigen 96. This protein is known to function in receptor-mediated signaling pathways and the cellular response to lipopolysaccharides, among other biological roles. The human version of MD2 has a canonical amino acid length of 160 residues and a protein mass of 18.5 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be a secreted protein. This target antigen may also be known as ESOP-1. Western Blot is the most common application for the MD2 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
