Anti-CSPG5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 566 amino acid residues and a mass of 60 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER, Golgi, cell membrane, and is secreted. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in cerebrospinal fluid. CSPG5 is believed to function as a a growth and differentiation factor involved in neuritogenesis. Post-translational modifications have been described, including O-glycosylation, N-glycosylation and phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include acidic leucine-rich EGF-like domain-containing brain protein, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 5 (neuroglycan C), and NGC. CSPG5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some CSPG5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
