Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of smoothelin in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a structural protein that is found exclusively in contractile smooth muscle cells. It associates with stress fibers and constitutes part of the cytoskeleton. This gene is localized to chromosome 22q12.3, distal to the TUPLE1 locus and outside the DiGeorge syndrome deletion. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
