Anti-GMR antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the GMR antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the CSF2RA gene, which encodes colony stimulating factor 2 receptor subunit alpha. This protein is known to function in cytokine-mediated signaling pathways and protein phosphorylation, among other biological roles. The human version of GMR has a canonical amino acid length of 400 residues and a protein mass of 46.2 kilodaltons, although 8 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane and is secreted of cells. Other names for this target antigen include CD116, CD116, and CDw116. A number of GMR antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
