Anti-LC8a antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the LC8a antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the DYNLL1 gene, which encodes dynein light chain LC8-type 1. This protein is known to function in the apoptotic pathway, among other biological roles. The human version of LC8a has a canonical amino acid length of 89 residues and a protein mass of 10.4 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoplasm of cells. Other names for this target antigen include DLC1, DLC8, and DNCL1. Some LC8a 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.
