Anti-SPTSSB antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein serine palmitoyltransferase small subunit B. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 76 amino acid residues and a mass of 9.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. A member of the SPTSS protein family, SPTSSB is known to be involved with the metabolism of lipids. The SPTSSB marker can be used to identify CD56 Bright Natural Killer Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include likely ortholog of androgen down regulated gene expressed in mouse prostate, small subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase B, and androgen down regulated in mouse prostate. SPTSSB gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chicken species. Indicated applications for SPTSSB antibodies listed below include ELISA, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunofluorescence.
