Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of OAS3 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: This gene encodes an enzyme included in the 2', 5' oligoadenylate synthase family. This enzyme is induced by interferons and catalyzes the 2', 5' oligomers of adenosine in order to bind and activate RNase L. This enzyme family plays a significant role in the inhibition of cellular protein synthesis and viral infection resistance. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
