Anti-ATF antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the ATF antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the GDNF gene, which encodes glial cell derived neurotrophic factor. This protein is known to function in embryonic organ development, among other biological roles. The human version of ATF has a canonical amino acid length of 211 residues and a protein mass of 23.7 kilodaltons, although 5 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be a secreted protein that is notably expressed in soft tissue, placenta, and cerebellum. This target antigen may also be known as ATF1. ELISA is a widely used application for the ATF antibodies listed below. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
