Anti-PATL2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein PAT1 homolog 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 543 amino acid residues and a mass of 61.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is reported to be highly expressed in oocytes. A member of the PAT1 protein family, Patl2 is reported to be a RNA-binding protein that acts as a translational repressor. The PATL2 gene has been associated with the disease, Oocyte maturation defect. Synonyms for this target antigen include PAT1-like protein 2, protein PAT1 homolog a, protein associated with topoisomerase II homolog 2, and protein PAT1 homolog 2. PATL2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Immunofluorescence is the most common application for the Patl2 antibodies listed below. Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
