Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of Gplu, an alias of the protein, basal cell adhesion molecule (Lutheran blood group). The official gene symbol is BCAM. The kits can detect several species variants of the protein, including: human, bovine, and primate. The protein, with a mass of 67.4 kDa and length of 628 residues, is reported to be membrane-associated. It may be known by other names, including: basal cell adhesion molecule (Lu and Au blood groups), Lutheran blood group variant LUGA, B-cell adhesion molecule, B-CAM cell surface glycoprotein, Auberger b antigen, and basal cell adhesion molecule, and LU.
