The following ceramide synthase 6 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of ceramide synthase 6 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the CERS6 gene. This protein is reported to be a ceramide synthase that catalyzes the transfer of the acyl chain from acyl-CoA to a sphingoid base, with high selectivity toward palmitoyl-CoA (hexadecanoyl-CoA; C16:0-CoA). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 384 residues and a mass of 44.9 kDa. Its subcellular location is known to be in the ER. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated, acetylated and phosphorylated. This protein may also be known as longevity assurance homolog 6, sphingoid base N-palmitoyltransferase CERS6, and LAG1 homolog, ceramide synthase 6.
Some ceramide synthase 6 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 20 ng/L and as high as 10 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
