How to check object type from request.body in Typescript?

I need to check the object type from the request body and then run approbiate function based on this type, I try do this in this way:

export interface SomeBodyType {
    id: string,
    name: string,
    [etc....]
}

export const someFunction = async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
    const { body } = req.body;

    if (body instanceof SomeBodyType) {
        //run function A
    } else {
        // run function B
    }
}

but it not work, cause my SomeBodyType return me error: only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.,

so, how can i check the type of the body in this case?

thanks for any help!

//// EDIT:

thanks to @phn answer I create this generic function to check object types:

export const checkObjectType = <T>(body: T): boolean => {
    return (body as T) !== undefined;
}

please, take a look and comment if this function is good
