Anti-Vitrin antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the VIT gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 678 amino acid residues and a mass of 73.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 5 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to promote matrix assembly and cell adhesiveness. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include VIT1. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the Vitrin antibodies listed below. ELISA, Flow Cytometry, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
