Goat Anti-SPAG16 (Sperm Associated Antigen 16 aa139-152)
SPAG16, WDR29, WD repeat domain 29, sperm-associated WD repeat protein, sperm associated antigen 16, PF20, MGC87036, FLJ37717, FLJ22724, DKFZp666P1710

Cilia and flagella are comprised of a microtubular backbone, the axoneme, which is organized by the basal body and surrounded by plasma membrane. SPAG16 encodes 2 major proteins that associate with the axoneme of sperm tail and the nucleus of postmeiotic germ cells, respectively (Zhang et al., 2007 [PubMed 17699735]).

Applications
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilutions
