WIPI2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2, which is encoded by the WIPI2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a known component of the autophagy machinery that controls the major intracellular degradation process by which cytoplasmic materials are packaged into autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for degradation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 454 residues, a mass of 49.4 kDa, and is a member of the WD repeat PROPPIN protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane and is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. As many as 6 protein isoforms have been reported. The WIPI2 gene has been associated with the disease, Intellectual developmental disorder with short stature and variable skeletal anomalies. Other alias names for this target include Atg21, CGI-50, IDDSSA, WD repeat domain phosphoinositide-interacting protein 2, WD40 repeat protein interacting with phosphoinositides 2, and ATG18B.
Some WIPI2 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
