Anti-DMTN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein dematin actin binding protein. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 405 amino acid residues and a mass of 45.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. Up to 4 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in platelets. A member of the Villin/gelsolin protein family, DMTN is known to be involved with cytoskeleton organization. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include EPB49, dematin, erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.9 (dematin), and DMT. DMTN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some DMTN antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
