Anti-HPS5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein HPS5 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 2 subunit 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1129 amino acid residues and a mass of 127.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the HPS5 protein family, HPS5 is believed to regulate the synthesis and function of lysosomes and of highly specialized organelles, such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Synonyms for this target antigen include BLOC2S2, BLOC-2 complex member HPS5, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 5 protein, alpha integrin binding protein 63, ruby-eye protein 2 homolog, and AIBP63. HPS5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of HPS5 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.
