Anti-NY-BR-16 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the NY-BR-16 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the ANKRD17 gene, which encodes ankyrin repeat domain 17. This protein is known to function in innate immune responses and the regulation of cell differentiation, among other biological roles. The human version of NY-BR-16 has a canonical amino acid length of 2603 residues and a protein mass of 274.3 kilodaltons, although 7 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types.
