Anti-Syndecan antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Syndecan antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the SDC1 gene, which encodes syndecan 1. This protein is known to function in the Wnt signaling pathway and cell migration, among other biological roles. The human version of Syndecan has a canonical amino acid length of 310 residues and a protein mass of 32.5 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the membrane and is secreted of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include CD138, CD138, and SDC. Some Syndecan antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
