Anti-VIT antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein vitrin. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 678 amino acid residues and a mass of 73.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. Up to 5 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. VIT is reported to promote matrix assembly and cell adhesiveness. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include VIT1. VIT gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the Vit antibodies listed below. ELISA, Flow Cytometry, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
