Rabbit Polyclonal C17orf80 Antibody

The C17orf80 antibody is a research tool designed to target the protein encoded by the C17orf80 gene (Chromosome 17 Open Reading Frame 80), a poorly characterized gene located on human chromosome 17. The gene’s biological function remains largely unexplored, though bioinformatic analyses suggest potential roles in cellular processes such as protein-protein interactions, nucleic acid binding, or involvement in metabolic pathways. C17orf80 antibodies are typically polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies developed for detecting the endogenous protein in experimental applications like Western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), or immunofluorescence (IF). Their use is critical in studies aiming to elucidate the protein’s expression patterns, subcellular localization, and potential involvement in diseases. Recent studies have linked C17orf80 to certain cancers, with altered expression observed in tumor tissues, suggesting it may serve as a biomarker or therapeutic target. However, validation of these findings requires further investigation. Commercially available C17orf80 antibodies often require rigorous validation for specificity due to the gene’s low annotation and possible cross-reactivity with unrelated proteins. Researchers utilizing these antibodies should employ appropriate controls, such as siRNA knockdown or knockout cell lines, to confirm target specificity in their experimental models.
