SLC7A2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 7 member 2, which is encoded by the SLC7A2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to function as permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine); the affinity for its substrates differs between isoforms created by alternative splicing. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 658 residues, a mass of 71.7 kDa, and is a member of the Cationic amino acid transporter (CAT) (TC 2.A.3.3) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is notably expressed at high levels in the skeletal muscle, placenta and ovary. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include CAT2, HCAT2, cationic amino acid transporter 2, low affinity cationic amino acid transporter 2, solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 2, and ATRC2.
The detection range for different SLC7A2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.15 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.
