Anti-CILD16 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the CILD16 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the DNAL1 gene, which encodes dynein axonemal light chain 1. This protein is known to be a part of the multisubunit axonemal ATPase complexes that generate the force for cilia motility and govern beat frequency (By similarity). The human version of CILD16 has a canonical amino acid length of 190 residues and a protein mass of 21.5 kilodaltons, although 3 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as the bronchus and fallopian tube. CILD16 is a member of the Dynein light chain LC1-type protein family.
