Anti-VPS18 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein VPS18 core subunit of CORVET and HOPS complexes. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 973 amino acid residues and a mass of 110.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasmic vesicles, lysosomes, and membrane. It is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. A member of the VPS18 protein family, VPS18 is reported to play a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments including the endocytic membrane transport and autophagic pathways. Synonyms for this target antigen include VPS18, CORVET/HOPS core subunit, hVPS18, vacuolar protein sorting 18 homolog, vacuolar protein sorting protein 18, and vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 18 homolog. VPS18 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of VPS18 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
