Anti-HERVW antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target HERVW is a known alias name of the protein endogenous retrovirus group W member 1, envelope, encoded by the ERVW-1 gene in humans. This 538-amino acid residue protein is known to be involved in the morphogenesis of anatomical structure, among other biological processes. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell and features N-glycosylated and cleaved post-translational modifications. In terms of tissue expression, it is noted to be expressed at higher level in the placental syncytiotrophoblast. Other synonyms for HERVW include ENV, ENV, and ENVW. Indicated applications for HERVW antibodies listed below include ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry.
