Anti-ILT8 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the ILT8 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the LILRA6 gene, which encodes leukocyte immunoglobulin like receptor A6. This protein is known to function in adaptive immune responses, among other biological roles. The human version of ILT8 has a canonical amino acid length of 481 residues and a protein mass of 52.4 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells.
