Anti-Kino antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Kino antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the KNCN gene, which encodes kinocilin. This protein is believed to play a role in stabilizing dense microtubular networks or in vesicular trafficking. The human version of Kino has a canonical amino acid length of 124 residues and a protein mass of 12.8 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells.
