A number of ELISA Kits are available that target Y box protein 3, an alias of the protein, Y-box binding protein 2. The human protein is encoded by the gene YBX2. The protein's cellular localization is indicated to be cytoplasmic and nuclear. Additional synonyms or past names for this protein may include: CONTRIN, CSDA3, DBPC, MSY2. Homology is conserved in other species, such as Mouse, Rat, Frog.
