Anti-NME5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein NME/NM23 family member 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 212 amino acid residues and a mass of 24.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell projections and cytoplasm. It is notably expressed in the testis germinal cells. A member of the NDK protein family, NME5 is known to functions as part of axonemal radial spoke complexes that play an important part in the motility of sperm and cilia. The NME5 gene has been associated with the disease, Ciliary dyskinesia. Synonyms for this target antigen include NM23-H5, NM23H5, RSPH23, nucleoside diphosphate kinase homolog 5, IPIA-beta, and CILD48. NME5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some NME5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
