Anti-TAFA4 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein TAFA chemokine like family member 4. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 140 amino acid residues and a mass of 15.7 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. It is notably expressed in the brain. It is a member of the TAFA protein family.
The TAFA4 marker can be used to identify Cerebral Cortex MGE Interneurons, Gray Matter MGE Interneurons, Hypothalamus Mammillary Body Neurons, Brain Splatter Neurons, and Thalamic Excitatory Neurons.* Synonyms for this target antigen include family with sequence similarity 19 (chemokine (C-C motif)-like), member A4, family with sequence similarity 19 member A4, C-C motif chemokine like, protein FAM19A4, and chemokine-like protein TAFA-4. TAFA4 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the TAFA4 antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
