Anti-Synemin antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the SYNM gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1565 amino acid residues and a mass of 172.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 3 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Intermediate filament protein family, it is known to be involved with cytoskeleton organization. Synemin is also used as a cellular marker for characterizing astrocytes. Other names for this target antigen include SYN, desmuslin, synemin alpha, synemin beta, synemin, intermediate filament protein, and DMN. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Synemin antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
