GALC ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein galactosylceramidase, which is encoded by the GALC gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the metabolism of lipids. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 685 residues, a mass of 77.1 kDa, and is a member of the Glycosyl hydrolase 59 protein family. It is known to be localized in the lysosomes and is notably expressed in urine. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The GALC gene has been associated with the disease, Krabbe disease. Other alias names for this target include GALCERase, galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase, galactosylceramide beta-galactosidase, galactosylceraminidase, and galactocerebrosidase.
Some GALC ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 20 ng/L 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.
