Anti-UVSSA antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein UV stimulated scaffold protein A. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 709 amino acid residues and a mass of 80.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the chromosomes. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the cervix, vagina, and bronchus. A member of the UVSSA protein family, UVSSA is known to be involved with protein ubiquitination. Post-translational modifications have been described, including ubiquitination. The UVSSA gene has been associated with the disease, UV-sensitive syndrome. UVSSA gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of UVSSA antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Immunocytochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
