OAT ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein ornithine aminotransferase, which is encoded by the OAT gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the reversible interconversion of L-ornithine and 2-oxoglutarate to L-glutamate semialdehyde and L-glutamate. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 439 residues, a mass of 48.5 kDa, and is a member of the Class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The OAT gene has been associated with the disease, Hyperornithinemia with gyrate atrophy of choroid and retina. Other alias names for this target include HOGA, OATASE, OKT, ornithine aminotransferase, mitochondrial, gyrate atrophy, and GACR.
The detection range for different OAT ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.15 ng/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
