Being a member of the alpha (2 mu)-microglobulin superfamily of carrier proteins, Apo-D is also known as lipocalin.The gene has been localized to the p14.2----qter region of human chromosome 3. It is a glycoprotein of estimated molecular weight 33,000 Da. The Apo-D encoded a protein of 169 amino acid residue.It has been detected in human liver, intestine, pancreas, kidney, placenta, adrenal, spleen, and fetal brain tissue. For its features, Apo-D has been a biomarker of androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellular localization (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e Secreted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTissue details (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e Expressed in liver, intestine, pancreas, kidney, placenta, adrenal, spleen, fetal brain tissue and tears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSequence similarities (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases\/reductases (SDR) family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommonly studied in contexts related to Growth Factors\/Hormones,Signal Transduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blot (WB):\u003c\/strong\u003e Compare relative target abundance and apparent size\/isoforms across samples;
