Anti-SCOTT antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the SCOTT antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the OXCT2 gene, which encodes 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2. This protein is known to function in metabolic processes, among other biological roles. The human version of SCOTT has a canonical amino acid length of 517 residues and a protein mass of 56.1 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria of cells and notably expressed in the placenta and testis. SCOTT is a member of the 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase protein family.
