ALG5 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein ALG5 dolichyl-phosphate beta-glucosyltransferase, which is encoded by the ALG5 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be required for the assembly of lipid-linked oligosaccharides in kidney epithelial cells, and protein N-glycosylation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 324 residues, a mass of 36.9 kDa, and is a member of the Glycosyltransferase 2 protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER and is reported to be expressed in pancreas, placenta, liver, heart, brain, kidney, skeletal muscle, and lung. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The ALG5 gene has been associated with the disease, Polycystic kidney disease. Other alias names for this target include bA421P11.2, dolichyl-phosphate beta-glucosyltransferase, Alg5, S. cerevisiae, homolog of, and PKD7.
The detection range for different ALG5 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target 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.
