MAEL ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein maelstrom spermatogenic transposon silencer, which is encoded by the MAEL gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to play an important role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and preventing their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 434 residues, a mass of 49.2 kDa, and is a member of the Maelstrom protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm and is reported to have testis-specific expression. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. Other alias names for this target include cancer/testis antigen 128, maelstrom homolog, spermatogenesis associated 35, testicular tissue protein Li 116, and protein maelstrom homolog.
There are MAEL ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
