Anti-LC8 antibodies are protein reagents that detect specific antigens. The LC8 antigen is another term for the human protein dynein light chain LC8-type 1, encoded by the DYNLL1 gene. The protein is known to act as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex that are thought to be involved in linking dynein to cargos and to adapter proteins that regulate dynein function. Canonically, it has an amino acid length of 89 residues and a mass of 10.4 kilodaltons. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoplasm and it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. The LC8 protein is a member of the Dynein light chain protein family. Some LC8 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
