CXCL16 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 16, which is encoded by the CXCL16 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to act as a scavenger receptor on macrophages, which specifically binds to OxLDL (oxidized low density lipoprotein), suggesting that it may be involved in pathophysiology such as atherogenesis (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 254 residues, a mass of 27.6 kDa, and is a member of the Intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is secreted and is reported to be expressed in T-cell areas. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include CXC chemokine ligand 16, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 16, scavenger receptor for phosphatidylserine and oxidized low density lipoprotein, small-inducible cytokine B16, and C-X-C motif chemokine 16.
Some CXCL16 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 1.25 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
