Human NAALADase-like 2/NAALADL2 Antibody

NAALADL2 (N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase like 2) is a member of the peptidase M28 family of enzymes. It is presumably a type II transmembrane (TM) protein that may have O-glycosyl hydrolase activity. Human NAALADL2 is 795 amino acids (aa) in length. It is believed to contain a cytoplasmic and TM segment at the N-terminus, followed by a peptidase domain (aa 444‑596) and a TfR-like dimerization region (aa 688‑777). There are multiple splice forms. One shows a 4 aa substitution for aa 292‑795, a second shows an alternate start site at Met18 with a 24 aa substitution for aa 314‑795, and a third contains an alternate start site at Met283, accompanied by a deletion of aa 363‑411 and 633‑795. Over aa 152‑795, human NAADADL2 is 87% and 82% aa identical to mouse and canine NAADADL2, respectively.
