Application

Anti-CHAC1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag cation transport regulator-like protein 1 proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the role of CHAC1 in the regulation of apoptosis via the unfolded protein response pathway.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CHAC1 belongs to the chaC family. The exact function of CHAC1 remains unknown.
