The following Retinol Saturase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of retinol saturase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the RETSAT gene. This protein is known to catalyze the saturation of all-trans-retinol to all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 610 residues, a mass of 66.8 kDa, and is a member of the Carotenoid/retinoid oxidoreductase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the ER. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in liver; expression positively correlates with obesity and liver steatosis. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. This protein may also be known as PPAR-alpha-regulated and starvation-induced gene protein, all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol saturase, and all-trans-retinol 13,14-reductase.
The detection range for different Retinol Saturase ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL.
