Anti-VMS1 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the VMS1 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the ANKZF1 gene, which encodes ankyrin repeat and zinc finger peptidyl tRNA hydrolase 1. This protein is reported to play a role in the cellular response to hydrogen peroxide and in the maintenance of mitochondrial integrity under conditions of cellular stress. The human version of VMS1 has a canonical amino acid length of 726 residues and a protein mass of 80.9 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. VMS1 is a member of the ANKZF1/VMS1 protein family.
