Anti-LIN7A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein lin-7 homolog A, crumbs cell polarity complex component. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 233 amino acid residues and a mass of 26 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is reported to be expressed in the brain, testis, kidney, placenta and liver. A member of the Lin-7 protein family, LIN7A is reported to play a role in establishing and maintaining the asymmetric distribution of channels and receptors at the plasma membrane of polarized cells. Synonyms for this target antigen include MALS-1, MALS1, TIP-33, VELI1, protein lin-7 homolog A, and LIN7. LIN7A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of LIN7A antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
