Anti-NAL antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the NAL antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the NPL gene, which encodes N-acetylneuraminate pyruvate lyase. This protein is known to function in carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis, among other biological roles. The human version of NAL has a canonical amino acid length of 320 residues and a protein mass of 35.2 kilodaltons, although 5 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells and notably expressed in the tonsil, spleen, lymph node, and kidney. NAL is a member of the DapA protein family. Indicated applications for NAL antibodies listed below include ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry.
