Anti-myosin XVA antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the MYO15A gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 3530 amino acid residues and a mass of 395.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell projections and cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in pituitary. It is a member of the Myosin protein family. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Deafness. Other names for this target antigen include MYO15, unconventional myosin-XV, myosin-XV, unconventional myosin-15, and DFNB3. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chicken species. These myosin XVA antibodies are widely used in Immunohistochemistry experiments, among other applications.
