Anti-HEK antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the HEK antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the EPHA3 gene, which encodes EPH receptor A3. This protein is known to function in axon guidance and cell adhesion, among other biological roles. The human version of HEK has a canonical amino acid length of 983 residues and a protein mass of 110.1 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane and is secreted of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as the bronchus, thyroid gland, and adipose tissue. Other names for this target antigen include EK4, ETK, and ETK1. Western Blot is the most common application for the HEK antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
