Anti-RTT antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the RTT antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the MECP2 gene, which encodes methyl-CpG binding protein 2. This protein is known to function in dendrite development, among other biological roles. The human version of RTT has a canonical amino acid length of 486 residues and a protein mass of 52.4 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include AUTSX3, MRX16, and MRX79. Some RTT 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.
