Anti-DNTNP antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the DNTNP antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the FAM53A gene, which encodes family with sequence similarity 53 member A. This protein is believed to play an important role in neural development; the dorsomedial roof of the third ventricle. The human version of DNTNP has a canonical amino acid length of 398 residues and a protein mass of 42.6 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as the cerebral cortex, vagina, and breast. DNTNP is a member of the FAM53 protein family.
